It does irritate me, however, how everybody jumped on the 'charity' band-wagon as soon as it involved a wave and some Asians who couldn't swim/forgot to put on their water-wings/lost their surfboards.

The UK and Taiwan will be giving monetary aid.
Israel will be sending a special medical team for those situation.
Mexico will be sending monetary aid, I believe.
Venezuela will be sending the special rescue team of Simon Bolivar to aid in rescue efforts.
Also:
'President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela - a major oil exporting country - said he had offered to send cheap fuel.
The state department has not decided whether to accept it.'
NATO will be organizing aid. And the UN is organizing the international community, with the experience of their organizations, to help people in the disaster area.
The UN seems to be useful to the US, doesn't it?
