Just over 48 hours since we last saw smiling faces, now it has become a nightmare to millions of lives, most broken by the strongest emotions. As the numbers keep changing and the piles keep mounting, it is but a sightless expectation that many anticipate in this unjust misery.

Since the news broke out families are flocking to makeshift morgues seeking lost loved ones as hundreds of thousands have been left homeless and suffering from injuries and sicknesses. Some lucky ones had a sigh of relief to reunite with their familes, while most others are helpless draining with thier sorrows and expecting the worst. The ones who were not so fortunate to make it through are begining to lie in piles waiting for thier turn in the stack to be earthed forever. Many bodies are still unclaimed, and as they have not been wrapped up the bodies have begun spreading the stink and breaking the threat for deceases.

The dead are being buried with extreme haste and little ceremony. Apparently the people who are burying them are trying to make a note of where the graves are and if they find a passport they are taking a note of that too, in the hope that perhaps one day those remains might be returned to their home countries.

As survivors emerge from no where it is an enormous task to provide adequate medication, regardless of the nature of the requirement. Here in Sri Lanka there is a major shortage of medical personnel, currently operating atleast on a 1:100 ratio, which seems to increase all the time. The lack of resources are causing the numbers to grow at alarming rates. Out the survivors, the youngest was known to be a 20-month-old Swedish baby boy who turned up in the Phuket International Hospital.

There's no power, there's no petrol, there's no movement, there's no support getting through to the injured.

Ealier during the day six Indian warships carrying supplies, along with helicopters landed here in Sri Lanka. Many aid workers from Italy, France and Pakistan arrived at the air port in the morning. France was reported to have dispatched 100 doctors and Japan agreed to back them up. Britian and China announced has offered aid in millions of dollars, while Australia and Singapore has come forward too. Aid sources are obvioulsy increasing as sign of concern and good will. But the most important matter is to coordinate them well so that they are been used at the fullest potential. It's one of the main issues Bill Clinton pointed out during his call for relief efforts.

Amidst of the rescue and aid operations there are many who are reported to travel to affected areas just to witness the tragedy. I of course have no words for such eccentric people but it's absolutely a shame to have heard such news in the middle of a national disaster. There are still reports of looting almost in every corner regardless of the security put in place. It's some what obvious as officers are not limited to maintaining order, as they are also involved in rescue efforts.
