just confirmed at 80,000 but in fact a couple of days ago I heard on TV one of the Indonesian officials saying that the death toll in Aceh would be more than 100,000, he said 'everyone is gone'
I think there is a difference between official and guesstimates.
Is so tragic, is terrible.
I can't comprehend the numbers of the dead.
Today the Muslim at prayer distressed because they are unable to bury their dead in the 24 hr period required. In extreme circumstance it is allowable, God bless them for the task ahead.
