சுனாமி அனர்த்தம் : “எனது தாய் தந்தையர் எங்கே என்பது எனக்குத் தெரியவில்லை”
epa00602743 ATTENTION EDITORS: PLEASE NOTE GRAPHIC CONTENT These yet to be identified skulls, the remains of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami catastrophe victims remain to be identified one year after the disaster, at the main Karapitiya Hospital in Galle (212kms south of Colombo) Monday, 26 December, 2005. The Asian tsunami wiped away nearly two-thirds of the northern, eastern and south-western coastal belt of Sri Lanka, killing some 34,000 within hours and displacing hundreds of thousands. In Galle alone, the unidentified remains of 1,112 persons are yet preserved. Items through which they could be identified too are among those preserved. A remembrance day is being observed at the worst affected area in Peraliya, where a train load of passengers were hurled around a mile inland by the tidal waves, the testimony of the power of Mother Nature. The whole country observes a two minutes silence at 09:30 am. EPA/M.A.PUSHPA KUMARA; Inset: Puvanenthiran Sutharshan Credit: EPA
