Direct Relief
International does primary medical relief for disasters and 3rd
world crisis spots, shipping huge amounts of donated
pharmaceuticals and other medical supplies, along with coordinating
medical relief teams. They'e been at it since 1948, and are
incredibly efficient at it. FEDEX is donating the rapid
transportation of med supplies to the region to DRI. But cash is
still helpful.
Over the next few weeks, medical supplies and teams are going to be
critical in keeping that death toll from doubling (or worse) from
cholera, typhus, dysentery and other nasties.
The American Red Cross has a
direct donation link at Amazon.com. It's on the top of their
front page should the link get kicked.
