News - U.N. Says 1.8 Million Tsunami Victims Need Food

The number of victims of the Asian tsunami needing food stands at 1.8 million and could rise further, a United Nations official said on Sunday.



He said relief could be provided to 700,000 people in Sri Lanka within about three days. It would take much longer to reach the 1 million people who need food in Indonesia.
