Desperate Indonesians from a small village struggle to gather aid supplies being dropped from the Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 2 'Golden Falcons' at Banda Aceh, January 1, 2005 in Indonesia. The helicopter was unable to land because of the extensive flooding that still exists. HS-2 is transporting supplies, bringing in disaster relief teams and supporting humanitarian airlifts to tsunami-stricken costal regions. The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is currently operating in the Indian Ocean off the waters of Indonesia and Thailand. A multinational force of aid workers, military aircraft and ships brought aid to stricken areas of South Asia on Saturday. Seven days after the massive undersea quake off the Indonesian island of Sumatra triggered giant tsunami waves, relief pledges edged towards $2 billion with a death toll of nearly 127,000 expected to rise.
