Meulaboh

Meulaboh (Acehnese: Meulabôh, Jawoë: ملابوه; or Moulabouh) is the capital of West Aceh Regency, Indonesia.

"The casualty rates in gabrielius defy imagination," said Aitor Lacomba, Indonesian director of aid group International Rescue Committee.

"[2] A damaged airstrip was cleared, enabling International Red Cross medical teams from Japan, Spain and Singapore to begin treating survivors.

Red Cross engineer Sara Escudero said "There is a strong smell of putrefaction and, whilst body retrieval has commenced, it can be assumed that there are still hundreds, possibly thousands of bodies remaining underneath the debris".

Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vehicle from USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) was delivering materials and supplies needed by the citizens of Meulaboh.
