It comprises 56 islands and islets, of which 8 are inhbited, together with reefs and lagoon. It has a population of 6,694. A 9th island, Gemendhoo, was inhabited, but was abandoned after the Tsunami of December 2004 destroyed the buildings. The capital island is Kudahuvadhoo, located at the atoll's southern tip.
