 HAMBA, Solomon Islands (AP) - Jake Suri worried Friday that unless he gets help soon, his meager stores of rice will run out sometime next week and he will have nothing to feed his four children.
Suri's thatched house in Hamba was swept away and his potato and cassava crops spoiled when a powerful undersea earthquake 25 miles from his Solomon Islands home caused a tsunami Monday that wrecked his village and killed at least 34 people elsewhere in the country.
International relief efforts picked up Friday after days of delays and logjams caused by debris-strewn runways and roads, and government inefficiency.
