Wave toll 'could exceed 100,000'

Wave toll 'could exceed 100,000'

The true scale of the disaster may never be known
The number of dead from Sunday's Indian Ocean killer waves is likely to spiral above 100,000, the Red Cross has said.
Senior agency official Peter Rees said he thought the toll would rise sharply when victims are counted on India's remote Andaman and Nicobar islands.

About 77,000 people have been confirmed killed in the earthquake and waves.
