As of this writing the death toll is said be 63,000 though some areas are still inaccessible because of the mighty force generated by the Boxing Day sea-floor earthquake and subsequent tsunami. I have collected some images of just the physical destruction. There are many more images of bodies, body bags and coffins but also of the thousands of heroic rescue workers toiling away in the tropical heat and humidity, amid the stench of decomposing corpses, to try and help clean up the mess and distribute aid to the probably millions of newly homeless peoples.
