I'm shocked to see the minimal amounts of aid being provided so far for the regions affected by the devastating tsunami arising from the earthquake in south-east Asia; Ireland provided only 1m Euro, but even that looks good compared to the European Union's promise of 3m Euro. And the 25 tons of aid from Russia or the provision of plastic sheeting and tenting from the UK - sorry but that is shamefully pathetic. Please harass your politicians to give more aid and consider making personal donations.
