The United Nations has warned that survivors of the devastating Asian tsunami are facing hunger in outlying regions of Indonesia.
A United Nations official in Meulaboh, Aceh province's second city, said emergency aid drops would have to be sharply increased to avoid hunger in outlying areas.
Not enough help was reaching people outside major urban areas, said Mr Daniel Augstburger, head of United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Meulaboh.
The warning comes a day after Indonesia's Health Ministry confirmed the deaths of tens of thousands of people previously listed as missing, raising the country's death toll to 166,320.
The new figure lifted the total global death toll from the tsunami disaster to 226,566, although the number continues to rise as more deaths are reported around the region.
Indonesia has said it hoped to hold talks with rebels in Aceh, where the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) has waged a bloody, three-decade-long battle for independence from Jakarta's rule.
Security fears prompted by the GAM conflict have been a worrying backdrop to the international relief effort in Aceh.
Indonesian foreign minister, Mr Hassan Wirajuda, said he hoped the talks would take place by the end of the month, but he could give neither a date nor a place. A spokesman for GAM's exiled leadership in Sweden said there had been no progress on talks.
GAM's leaders have repeatedly welcomed relief efforts spearheaded by the United Nations, and the rebels have said they would not attack aid workers or convoys.
Political concerns have also plagued relief efforts in Sri Lanka, where the Tamil-rebel controlled northeast is waiting to see if it will get a piece of the government's $3.5 billion tsunami reconstruction program.
