In response to the magnitude 8.9 earthquake that struck Japan, Amazon is working with the Red Cross to help collect funds to assist the victims. On each Amazon country site there is a link to the Red Cross website where donations can be made by those wishing to make a financial contribution to the relief efforts.
Initially the Red Cross had said “We cannot accept donations where the country affected has not asked for them. The Japanese Red Cross is a large, well-funded organisation, with a huge amount of experience dealing with natural disasters and well-established emergency response plans and supplies. We have to take our lead from them“, but that has now been updated and “The Japanese Red Cross has agreed to accept donations from the UK.”
If you want to donate simply visit any Amazon site and click on the Red Cross link or go directly to the Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal donation page.

some folk in haiti are still homeless and hungrey
What would the world do without Japan, if it became a nuclear wasteland……….?
if money were the answer japan would have no problems they have more money available than most
Even friends in Tokyo (largely unaffected) are running out of food and water already. They have the money to buy but they have nothing TO buy.
I shall organise relief efforts via friends in Japan.
If Japan had two nuclear bombs go off at the end of the second world war and both cities are repopulated and functioning like any other city, I think Japan will be able to cope with their reactors. Anything that happens to their reactors wont be as bad as the two bombs dropped on them. If they thought nuclear was bad they wouldn’t have them. You get a whole years background radiation in a single x-ray, health workers stay clear when giving x-ray because they work with them all day. Remember we were all going to get swine flue all over again two months ago and its still not happened.
The media talk out their arris.
