"COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, Dec. 28 -- Devastated coastal areas across South Asia struggled Tuesday to prevent hunger and outbreaks of disease as dazed survivors searched desperately for the missing two days after a tsunami surged across the region. The death toll rose to nearly 40,000 people, a large percentage of them on this island nation in the Indian Ocean." - John Lancaster, The Washington Post
