Ditto about giving money.
Most of these things are made in or nearer the countries that were affected so it will cost more to ship them out there than it will to buy them from neighbouring countries.
However, that said if you donate them to a charity, then that should relieve the charities local burden slightly allowing them to spend more overseas than locally perhaps?
It appears that we now have promised over £100m.
I'm sure that this should suffice for now to enable immediate relief to be given as well as longer term aid. |
