Indian Ocean Tsunami
Here are a few links to Charities where you can make a donation, as it seems our governments pathetic efforts aren't going to stretch very far.
The Disasters Emergency Committee - is an umbrella group of UK aid organisations - including ActionAid, British Red Cross, Oxfam - working to provide clean water, food and shelter to thousands. To call from the UK dial 0870 60 60 900.
(I've just tried to donate using this site and the web interface is poor so it isn't clear if my transaction went through - I haven't had a confirmation email either.)
The United Nations World Food Programme - is seeking donations to feed victims of the earthquake.
Medecins Sans Frontieres - is sending aid workers to the region, focusing on medical care for survivors and displaced people after the rescue operations.
Islamic Relief - has also launched an appeal to provide medical supplies, tents and sanitation facilities for those affected.
The United Nations Children's Fund, Unicef - is working to meet the "urgent needs of hundreds of thousands of people" affected by the tsunami disaster.
The UN refugee agency, UNHCR - which has been helping victims of conflicts in Indonesia and Sri Lanka, is delivering relief supplies to tsunami survivors in both countries.
Save the Children - has already flown a plane out to Sri Lanka carrying plastic sheeting for temporary shelter, tents to run children's services from, and essentials such as clothing and cooking utensils.
Anti-poverty organisation Care International - has already provided food for thousands of affected people in Sri Lanka.
