Jesus. This tsunami is the worst disaster I’ve ever heard of. I guess I’m so desensitized and jaded it’s nearly impossible for me to form any emotional attachment to the victims (see also: Mark’s post). That’s despite all the pictures, footage, and factoids like this on the World Health Organization website:

[B]etween 3 to 5 million people throughout the region are unable to get the basic requirements that they need to survive and cope.

So, I did the American thing and threw some money at it through Amazon’s website. They’ve collected more than $4 million for the Red Cross as of when I’m writing this. Any little bit can help.
