Seeking bodies of Greek earthquake victims. Volunteer workers are shown searching through the wreckage of homes on the Greek island of Ithaca, seeking the bodies of victims of the earthquake that have spread death and destruction through the Ionian Isles of Ithaca, Cephalonia and Zante for the past week. More than 1000 lives were lost and the destruction is beyond description. An international flotilla of US, British, Greek and Israeli ships and planes are keeping up a steady stream of food, water and medical supplies to the stricken areas.
