海啸袭击亚洲：6 500余人丧生
罗伯特·伍德豪斯 星期一 2004年12月27日
昨日，40年来最为强烈的地震引发海啸，重创亚洲沿海地带，造成印度尼西亚、印度、泰国、马来西亚和至少其他四个国家6 500多人死亡。渔民、游客、酒店、住房和汽车都被高达9.0级强震所引发的巨浪卷走。海啸巨浪由周日上午7时许发生在印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛西岸附近海域的海底地震引发。仅该地区就有至少1 870人死亡。
政府官员称，在斯里兰卡，震中以西约1 600千米处，死亡人数高达2 498人，另有100多万人受到海啸的影响。印度官员称，南部海岸地区有多达1 900人丧生。泰国另有254人死亡，其他三个国家有54人丧生。当地官员表示，泰国南部有1 900人受伤，失踪人数则更多。泰国当地的一位妇女钱德拉·特拉维说：“当时我和三个孩子正在吃早饭，海水开始灌入屋内。我们只好扔下一切，跑到安全地带。”
仍有成千上万人失踪，预计在未来几天死亡人数还将增加。目前正在为这些受灾国家组织国外援助。然而，由于条件险恶和道路受损，食物运送和物资补给将非常困难。

昨日，40年来最为强烈的地震引发海啸，重创亚洲沿海地带，造成印度尼西亚、印度、泰国、马来西亚和至少其他四个国家6 500多人死亡。渔民、游客、酒店、住房和汽车都被高达9.0级强震所引发的巨浪卷走。海啸巨浪由周日上午7时许发生在印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛西岸附近海域的海底地震引发。仅该地区就有至少1 870人死亡。
政府官员称，在斯里兰卡，震中以西约1 600千米处，死亡人数高达2 498人，另有100多万人受到海啸的影响。印度官员称，南部海岸地区有多达1 900人丧生。泰国另有254人死亡，其他三个国家有54人丧生。当地官员表示，泰国南部有1 900人受伤，失踪人数则更多。泰国当地的一位妇女钱德拉·特拉维说：“当时我和三个孩子正在吃早饭，海水开始灌入屋内。我们只好扔下一切，跑到安全地带。”
仍有成千上万人失踪，预计在未来几天死亡人数还将增加。目前正在为这些受灾国家组织国外援助。然而，由于条件险恶和道路受损，食物运送和物资补给将非常困难。
谢 谢！
