I think we have to be aware that very, very many of the victims have been swept away and many, many will not reappear," U.N. humanitarian chief Jan Egeland said in New York. "The 150,000 dead figure is a very low figure. It will be much bigger."

Does this mean they have actually accounted for 150,000 bodies already? I was under the impression that the 150,000 was an estimate based on people reported missing. Wow. It is very scary to think just how high this number might go.

Last I read, the actual counted figure had passed 148,000.

At the weekend the British Government said 199 UK citizens had died. Today it's up to 450 more than double and this almost two weeks after the event.

it's just incredible, and ever sadder to think of all those left with no other family members....so many orphaned children. it blows the mind.
