So far I have found only one website that allows you to make specific donations for the Indian Ocean Earthquake disaster (20,000 dead plus). www.unicef.org

Doctors without Borders www.dwb.org has more information and I imagine will soon have a specific donation site once needs are assessed.

Does anyone know of other reputable specific sites?
 
Nice to see ppl care! However, I do not yet trust those online donation sites even in case of unicef.org. I was donating over a local (offline) institution that I trust to not keep the donations for any different purpose or subtract some fees.. Even donating got more complicated in these days. Sad, huh?
 
Randman: I checked unicef.org and redcross.org but it does not seem that one can specify that one's donation goes to this specific relief effort. I know that Dafur et al. are in urgent need of support but I think one should be able to target special areas. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, LA Times has a How you can help column at http://www.latimes.com/la-fg-aid27dec2704,0,453500.story?coll=la-home-headlines

NYTIMEs is below and almost similar. Have not checked all links. UK and Europe: I checked Oxfam but have not found targeted donations yet.

A one day action in Switzerland (roughly 6 million people) made more than $50 million for Asia (in addition to the money given by the government and to the one given to other specialized associations) today. This is a record for a Swiss donation action.

Finally went over 100 millions CHF... roughly 100 million US$ !!!

Amazon.com has a big link on the right to their fund for the disaster relief.
 
... to which I just now donated $30.

Anybody want to start a thread on how much (if any) you've donated?
