Tamil Nadu villagers search for remains in tsunami debris
Keelavaachery (Tamil Nadu): A month after the killer
tsunami struck India's southern coastline, residents of
several villages are returning to pick up the remains of
their houses. Keelavaachery is one such village which was
completely washed out by the huge tidal waves. Several poverty-struck
fishermen families, who once had their homes, now sift through
mounts of debris for whatever they can recover to rebuild
their lives. Villagers say though this would not be enough
but it would at least help them last a few days. The December
26 tsunami has left nearly 300,000 dead or missing around
the Indian ocean from Somalia to Thailand. In India more
than 16,000 people are dead or presumed dead.
