The January 2nd edition of Scotland's Sunday Mailfeatures a plea from Ewan McGregor on behalf of UNICEF, for the youngest victims of the tsunami:

THE Sunday Mail today joins Ewan McGregor and UNICEF in a plea to save the young survivors of the Indian Ocean tsunamis. And Star Wars actor Ewan, who is an ambassador for the UN's children's fund, UNICEF, points out that even the smallest donations can save lives.

Ewan said:

"UNICEF need $25million (?15.6million) to support the immediate needs of children and families affected by this crisis. This sounds like a lot but every penny will go towards keeping children alive.

Your money will help to curb the spread of disease, provide safe water, give shelter and reunite lost children with their families.

The loss of loved ones and the memories of this event will haunt the lives of children for years to come and the rebuilding of homes and lives will take time.

UNICEF's task is huge and the work is only just beginning."
