Indonesia said Friday that recovery workers pulled 1,165 more bodies from debris left after the Dec. 26 earthquake and tsunami that hit Aceh province, bringing the country's death toll to 121,347. The missing tally remained unchanged at 114,897, the National Disaster Relief Coordinating Board said. Most of those still unaccounted for are feared dead, but can't be legally declared so for a year. The agency said all the bodies were found Wednesday and Thursday among the debris in Aceh's capital, Banda Aceh, and its surrounding area of Aceh Besar district as well as the province's west coast. The country's death toll stood at 121,347 _ including 121,219 bodies in Aceh and 128 from other parts of Sumatra Island. However, Indonesia's Social Affairs Ministry put the death toll at 123,198, with 12,046 missing. It has since stopped updating its figures, and the government has not explained the discrepancy.
