JAKARTA, JAN. 25. Indonesia's Health Ministry said today a total of 2,28,164 people are dead or missing in the December 26 earthquake and tsunami that devasted northern Sumatra. The Ministry's crisis centre said 95,992 bodies have been recovered and buried and another 1,32,172 people were missing. The Health Ministry last week raised its death toll from the disaster to 1,73,981 by adding some 70,000 missing and presumed dead to its figure for confirmed deaths. The Ministry's crisis centre said many of the 1,32,172 missing are presumed to be dead, four weeks after the tsunami.
Tremor rocks Aceh
An earthquake jolted the tsunami-ravaged Aceh province late on Tuesday afternoon, but the magnitude of the quake wasn't immediately known. The tremor, which hit around 4:50 p.m., lasted about 10 seconds. Local seismic experts didn't immediately know the quake's epicentre or magnitude. Areas along the shores of the Indian Ocean have been jolted by numerous aftershocks since the December 26 tsunami that was spawned by the world's largest earthquake in 40 years — keeping residents still recovering from the disaster on edge.
