50,000 Indonesian bodies still missing
Welfare Minister Alwi Shihab said 58,281 bodies had been buried in the shattered region on the northern tip of Sumatra island and some 50,000 are "scattered" around the region.
Some corpses are still trapped in collapsed buildings and rotting under debris in canals and rivers. Their stench still hangs over areas of the provincial capital, Banda Aceh. Many of the dead have been interred in mass graves and workers are busy at the main burial site in Banda Aceh, layering dirt and bodies on top of each another.
