Also the region has experienced 54 after tremors. There was a 6.0 quake on mon morning and quakes of 5.7 and 6.1 today and yesterday respectively. These last 2 quakes had their epicenters at the andaman and nicobar islands.

70 000 people are death so far and ten thousands are missing. 1 on the 3 is a child according to Unicef.

hm, over here they said 226 000 with the 50 000 extra from Indonesia.

Its an awful situation.  A real shame people are over there. I think the worlds governments are being a bit ignorant though.  The UK haven't even frozen those countries debts.  Its shocking.
