Corleone · 01-04-2005, 02:27 PM

BERLIN, Jan. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- The German government plans to radically increase its aid to tsunami-hit countries in south Asia to 500 million euros (666 million dollars), officials confirmed Tuesday.

The German government will make the decision at its cabinet meeting on Wednesday, an official speaking on condition of anonymity revealed.

So far the government had pledged to provide 20 million euros (27 million dollars) as immediate aid to the victims in the Dec.26 tsunami catastrophe.

On the list of donor countries, Japan took the lead with 500 million dollars, followed by the United States with 350 million dollars. Sweden, who suffered the heaviest casualties among non-Asian countries, pledged to donate 80 million dollars.

Meanwhile, German public donations for tsunami victims have reached some 70 million Euros (about 94.5 million US dollars), according to local reports Tuesday.

So far more than 1,000 German nationals are still missing whilethe number of confirmed dead remains at 60. Enditem

that's great, a greek tv channel with the help of orthodox christian church collected 7mil euro today and possible will hit 10mil tomorrow. I'm sure there are many such donations taking place all over the world.

Did someone just post a German flag? Somehow this always makes me feel like I'm in fucking Nazi Germany. I wasn't even really comfortable with that thing waving at the gate when I was in the army... probably because I don't really like my country all that much.

I'm not talking about the swastika flag. I'm talking about the 'Reichsflagge', which looks quite similar actually...

This is not so relevant after Germany announced their new contribution, but shows that on a per capita scale the US is far down on the top list of countries:
