[This is unblievable]--"Asian disaster toll surges past 55,000 as relief operations stall BANDA ACEH, Indonesia (AFP) - Logistical problems hampered a massive humanitarian relief operation along Asia's devastated shores as the death toll from a huge earthquake and killer tidal waves surged past 55,000. With the scale of the catastrophe rapidly unfolding, the confirmed number of dead in 10 countries shot up to 55,335 and looks set to go even higher. Indonesia's Aceh province accounted for half of those killed, or 27,174, while in Sri Lanka 17,800 were confirmed dead. The head of Italy's civil emergency relief services, charged with coordinating all rescue operations in the region by the European Union, warned the overall death toll could surpass 100,000.
