When I was reading the paper yesterday, an article on efforts to help out after the tsunamis said that relief organizations find themselves almost with a surplus of aid (how cool is that, eh?), but ....:

Aid officials said there was plenty of food and clothing, even a surplus. But thousands of people were living in hundreds of small camps and other temporary shelters without adequate sanitation, and health officials in Colombo warned of the possibility of widespread disease. Eric Fernando, a spokesman for Sri Lanka's president, Chandrika Kumaratunga, said international aid had been abundant, but that there was a pressing need for water-purification equipment.

Sarah describes her aid organization of choice, and what your money can do to get the survivors what they really need right now to keep on surviving.
