Red Cross puts toll at 50,000: PTI

The Red Cross Wednesday said that the number of deaths in the Gujarat earthquake tragedy could touch 50,000 but was unlikely to be 100,000 as apprehended by Defence Minister George Fernandes.

Bob McKerrow, Head, South Asian Regional Delegation of International Red Cross told the Breakfast News programme of Star News that from various inputs he believed that a figure of 50,000 dead was realistic. But he had difficulty in supporting the figure of 100,000, he added.
