International donors have made good on $A5.9 billion in aid pledges to rebuild Indonesian areas damaged in the Indian Ocean tsunami, the government's planning minister said on Wednesday.

On December 26, 2004, a magnitude 9.15 earthquake - the biggest in four decades - triggered a tsunami that left up to 232,000 people dead or missing in a dozen Indian Ocean nations, including nearly 170,000 in Indonesia's Aceh province.

International donors quickly vowed to help the survivors get back on their feet and pledged billions of dollars to support their most basic needs and rebuild devastated towns in Aceh, located on the northern tip of Sumatra island."
