Charities offering relief to countries affected by the Tsunami

There really isnt much to say.

I have listed below some of the aid agencies that are rushing men, material and resources to South and East Asia in support of the quake relief efforts.

Please Do consider giving.

Doctors Without Border

Medecins Sans Frontieres will be sending a charter to Indonasia within 24 hours. They are also sending an assessment team to Indian, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Burma. I think very highly of MSF.

you can donate to MSF through this page.

Prime Minister's relief fund in India

Dr Manmohan Singh asked for donations to his National Relief Fund to help support the flood-effected people. Obviously, they havent made this easy. This page gives you the account number for sending checks to the relief fund. Mark it to the local Indian Embassy/consulate. If you want to pay through credit card, use this form.

Oxfam

Oxfam is taking donations for its relief efforts in areas affected by Tsunami in South and East Asia. They are active in some of the quake effected areas - specially in Sri Lanka.

You can donate to Oxfam through this page.

Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

I am not huge on Red Cross. But let us face it - they have the best ground operation in South Asia. They already have an extensive operation - helping to evacuate victims. Their site allows you to define where your donation dollars go.

You can send money through this page. For those in India, it is probably easier to send a check to Indian Red Cross.

World Vision

This BBC story said that one third of the dead in the coastal regions are children. World Vision is trying to help. You can donate to them through this page.

CRY is the most well known NGO in India among those that work with children. Their online donation page is here. Although, I havent seen anything yet about what they can do in supporting the relief efforts.

Update: There is a more India specific list of agencies here)
