Death Toll Exceeds 116,000
The death toll now stands at 116,000. Indonesia reports that over 80,000 were killed in that country alone.
Emergency workers reported that in some parts of Aceh, as many as one in every four citizens was dead.
Scenes of destruction -- homes and businesses flattened, buses tossed about like toys, piles of rubble filling the streets -- were repeated across the region, as were the scenes of grief -- residents and vacationers searching in vain for loved ones, or, at times, finding them in makeshift morgues.
Here's a breakdown of the dead by country. In Thailand, more than five thousand remain missing and the death toll approaches 2,000. More than 1,500 dead have been found in the Khao Lak resort area, and the death toll there could reach 3,000.
