Indonesia Needs Help, Death Toll Expected To Exceed 400,000
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 (Bernama) -- The death toll in Acheh, the region worst hit by last Sunday's tsunami, may exceed 400,000 as many affected areas could still not be reached for search and rescue operations, Indonesia's Ambassador to Malaysia Drs H. Rusdihardjo said Thursday.

1. Yes
I have been posting the facts long before this. Kuala Lumpur is where I live. Indonesia is so poor. Just try to imagine that most of then earn around US 100 a month. 1 million live along that coastal area affected by the tsunami. Now there is nothing. How to count number of dead when many of these area are so completely destory, there are no bodies to count.
