Washington - Restoring energy to stricken households and providing food and shelter to displaced people were the key priorities of relief efforts Thursday in a multistate area of the north-eastern US in the aftermath of the superstorm Sandy.
The death toll in the US alone has climbed to 80, bringing to more than 140 killed by Hurricane Sandy since it swept across the Caribbean, including Haiti and Cuba, starting late last week.//DPA
