Asia tsumami deaths pass 80'000

The dimension of this catastrophe is beyond our comprehension:

Relief agencies struggled to rush aid to more than 3 million people in Africa and Asia who lack food and medicine as the number of fatalities from the weekend's earthquake and tsunamis passed 80,000, with more than half the dead in Indonesia.
The death toll climbed as more corpses washed ashore and tallies came in from remote parts of the countries along the Indian Ocean hit by giant waves, triggered by a 9.0 magnitude quake off the coast of Indonesia on December 26.(...)
UN officials said dozens of airplanes are carrying food, medicine, water purification tablets and body bags to Indonesia, Thailand, India and other nations. Governments pledged at least $220 million in cash, and an equal amount in supplies, transport and military help, according to the UN. Japan promised $30 million, and Australia said it would give $27.7 million to the quake zone. Germany offered $27 million, and France pledged $20.4 million. (...) Amazon.com, the world's biggest Internet retailer, collected $2.5 million in about 24 hours after rearranging its home page yesterday to make a pitch for donations to the American Red Cross. The Red Cross has received total donations of $18 million so far.
