Many thanks to everyone emailing in links related to the south-east Asian disaster. Do keep sending them in - it's neil.mcintosh@guardian.co.uk.
First, a mirror site for Phuket International Hospital here, which appears to be running a little better than the original link. The link comes via this bittersweet AP story of a two-year-old Swedish boy whose uncle recognised his picture from a picture on the hospital site, and flew to Thailand to claim him. The boy's mother and grandmother are reported missing; his father and grandfather is in another hospital, condition unknown.
There's a happier tale from blogger Dave Windass from Hull, who emails in to tell of his relief at locating a friend in the disaster area. Read his tale after the jump ...
Dave had been frantically trying to find out what had happened to him when, just as he began to fear the worst (his friend's mobile had died) his blog updated. "I think it's a really powerful entry that you might like to share with other Grauniad readers," he writes.
Indeed it is - it was a very lucky escape, which you can read about here.
Meanwhile, another survivor - Evelyn Rodriguez - writes with great power on her blog, as she chronicles her escape, the aftermath of the disaster and her ongoing attempts to get home.
"As I wander the streets of Bangkok (again, I have to trek to get a temp passport and arrange flights back home), people stare at me. Even an able-bodied farung (Thai for foreigner and I found out at breakfast also the word for guava fruit) takes their lives into their own hands as a pedestrian. So to see someone in crutches (btw, my leg is badly cut up at the knee, not broken and was properly stitched at Phuket's international hospital "mass casualty zone") must be rare. Some people ask what happened? Others seem to intuitively guess.
I urge you to go and read it all.
