Tsunami thoughts

At times like this, we are all thinking of what can be done to better the condition of those affected by the Tsunami.You may not believe this - but in a fair amount of regular reading on the net, and following the news on TV, I find that there are few announcements which tell us WHAT is needed right now, in WHICH quantitites, and WHERE.

You don't believe me ? Take a look at the Rediff page for Tsunami help, or indeed the Google page, the Red cross pages, or even the Government of India / Governments of Indian States webpages. You will find descriptions of the disaster, even listings of relief camps, people dead, livestock destroyed etc. but not specifics on what MATERIALS and SKILLS are urgently needed, and WHERE.
