after the devastating tsunami that struck Asia. The top image shows the

area on June 23, 2004 while the image below shows the area on December

28, 2004, with considerable damage. The death toll in the Indian Ocean

tsunami disaster soared above 125,000 on Thursday as millions scrambled

for food and clean water and rumours of new waves sent many fleeing

inland in panic. The Indonesian Health Ministry said just under 80,000

people had died in the northern Aceh province that was close to the

undersea quake, some 28,000 more than previously announced. MANDATORY
