A total of 126,915 dead bodies have been buried in Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh, which was hit heavily by the Dec. 26 earthquake-triggered tsunami, the Disaster Management and Refugee Handling Task Force said in a report released on Wednesday.
In a report released Wednesday in Banda Aceh, the capital city of the province, the task force said 37,063 people were still missing and 514,150 others were listed as refugees.
It said Indonesian security personnel, rescue workers, Red Cross officers, volunteers and local people were still searching for possible victims in the disaster-hit areas buried by rubble, according to the official Antara news agency.
On Dec. 26 last year, a powerful earthquake struck the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra, causing over 250,000 death around the India Ocean
