Urgent--- More than 700 bodies recovered in Krabi

โดย Manager Online 27 December 2004 17:49


BANGKOK (Manager Daily)- More than 700 bodies, victims of Sunday’s towering ocean waves, were recovered in Khoa Lak, of Pang Nga’s Takua Pa district, while more than 1,000 were still missing, said Thailand’s Prime Minisuter Thaksin Shinawatra who was at the scene on Monday afternoon.

Khao Lak, where white sand beaches line up a hilly shoreline north of Phuket, is one of the most spectacular seaside resorts frequented by both Asian and European vacationers.

The discoveries bring the ocean waves death-toll to more than 1,000 since Sunday.

Prime Minister Thaksin said Army troops and volunteers from private owned charity agencies discovered the bodies after a series of search/rescue operations starting on Sunday.

The prime minister said he had told ministries concerned to arrange caravans of buses to transport hundreds of survivors in the area to safe places.

More than 1,000 are still missing, said the prime minister, as officials were providing foods, and medics offering first aids to the injured.

Khao Lak beaches were devastated by a series of tsunami-type tidal waves unleashed by an undersea massive earthquake north of Indonesia's Sumatra Islands on Sunday morning.

The prime minister said many survivors were still shocked while mourning their dead friends and relatives.

Aerial views on a TV news coverage earlier in the day showed debris scattered on beaches, trees fallen, houses levelled, and dead bodies littered some local roads.

ITV reported earlier that dozens of rescue workers resumed combing wreckages for bodies as the death-toll kept rising.

It is believed that several bodies were buried in the mud when the gigantic waves swept into the sea tourists who were on the beach late Sunday morning, according to the TV broadcast.

Prime Minister Thaksin said injured survivors, many seriously, had been admitted to Takua Pa hospital, many of whom were later transferred to hospitals in Songkhla on the Eastern Coast.
