Achilles Tang Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 The full horror of things has yet to come. Many of the living are badly affected even as we sit here in our air-con offices and comfortable homes. Disease and lack of proper sanitation, medical supplies, food and drinking water is the top worry now. We are talking about A MILLION homeless here.... imagine if you are there, grieving, hungry, sick and homeless... it will be anarchy soon unless aid is given quickly! Please donate to the SRC fund for these victims. It will be given to SRC (singapore red cross) which will then determine how the money will be best spent. Do all you can now as an individual. Collectively as a group, we can make a big difference to at least three times more people! There must be a few hundred kids who have lost their entire family... no hope... no future. DONATE TO THE SRC TSUNAMI DISASTER FUND-RAISING PROJECT NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Tang Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Asian disaster toll surges past 55,000. The latest as of 29/12. An excerpt: In Aceh province, a lone SOS call from police in cut-off Meulaboh said looting had broken out and starvation loomed. "If within three to four days relief does not arrive, there will be a starvation disaster that will cause mass deaths," chief police detective Rilo Pambudi said in the e-mail, released by officials in Jakarta. Another excerpt: "We need antibiotics, bandages, IV fluids and things like that," top relief co-ordinator Lalith Weeratunga told AFP. "Our challenge is to get a well co-ordinated system, things are slowly falling into place."

terryansimon Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Indonesian officials have revised the island nation's death toll dramatically upward to 27,174, boosting the overall toll from Sunday's tsunamis to 56,029. Rescuers today finally reached remote areas, like Aceh province. Once there, they found massive destruction. "The center of Banda Aceh has been absolutely devastated," reported CNN's Mike Chinoy. updated as of 1142hrs local time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member wolfie Posted December 29, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 29, 2004 "Tsunami death toll surges past 68,000 amid epidemic fears" - Headline on CNA webby. Allow me to sidetrack a bit. it's rather interesting to see that for once CNN is not as updated as the asian couterparts like CNA (fyi, CNN currently reports the deathtoll at 56,029). Perhaps amidst the chaos, this is an opportunity for CNA and other regional broadcasters to prove their timeliness and accuracy in reporting.

Their reporting are somehow biased. quite true about CNN being biased in their reporting. the early snippets of the tsunamis chaos showed only expats in Phuket. it is the locals who really got the short end of the stick. come on CNN, be realistic ....
