Bad weather slows Indonesia tsunami relief

Bad weather is said to be obstructing efforts to get aid to the survivors of Monday's tsunami in Indonesia.



Officials say heavy rain and high tides are making it hard for boats to deliver supplies to the isolated Mentawai islands off the west coast of Sumatra.



More than 400 people are confirmed dead, but many bodies have yet to be recovered from coastal areas and more than 300 people are still missing.



The tsunami was triggered by a 7.7-magnitude undersea earthquake.



Disaster-relief officials plan to start dropping aid by air, but reports say there are not enough helicopters to reach many of the devastated areas.
