As Sinistral once said… Holy Shit.
Not to make light of the situation, but define “once.”
I think the death toll is actually higher because aparently, some villages were wiped out in some areas and there is no way of knowing how many people were wiped out along with it. And yeah, disease and lack of access to food and fresh water will make this a much more tragic situation.
