Deutsche Welle: Hundreds die after earthquake

It's feared hundreds may have died after an earthquake struck southern and eastern Asia. Most of the deaths have occurred as a result of huge waves that followed the quake. High waves along the east coast of Sri Lanka killed at least 1000 people, local officials say. While massive tides striking India's coast are said to have killed at least 500. Deaths have also been reported in coastal Thailand and on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, believed to be near the centre of the powerful earthquake, which the US Geological Survey measured at 8.9 magnitude.

Not knowing the magnitude of losses isn't censorship. Lack of information about who was killed isn't censorship...

The waves caused deaths and serious damage in Indonesia, India, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and the Maldives, among other countries.

Because of the season, beach resorts throughout the affected region were jammed with holiday tourists, many in dwellings on or very near the beach.

Eyewitness reports say that in most places, the tsunamis struck without warning.
