Many Thousands Cut Off From Relief (washingtonpost.com) BANDA ACEH, Indonesia, Jan. 4 -- U.N. relief officials warned Monday that tens of thousands of people affected by the earthquake and tsunami in South Asia had not received help and that some were at risk of dying because ruined roads and bad communications were preventing the distribution of supplies. In Banda Aceh, relief flights from Sumatra's largest city, Medan, were delayed up to five hours because there were not enough landing areas for aircraft or forklifts to unload supplies. The road connecting Banda Aceh to points south was blocked about seven miles outside the city: The bridge crossing a muddy river there lies twisted in the water. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/articles/A45023-2005Jan3.html   (1476 words)
