Donation for Disaster Aid Efforts

I collected a bit of information on donating towards disaster relief and thought I would post this info in case anyone else is interested. I will add to it as I find more links and phone numbers, and if anyone knows of something I've left off, please let me know!

Donations in the UK can be made through Oxfam or through the umbrella organisation, the Disasters Emergency Committee.

Phone numbers for donations in the UK are:
Disasters Emergency Committee: 0870 606 0900
British Red Cross: 0870 512 5125
Cafod: 0500 858 8885
Oxfam: 0870 333 2500
Save the Children: 0207 012 6400
World Vision: 0800 088 088

Thanks to Sky News for posting these numbers on their website.

Phone numbers and websites for donations in Australia are:
Red Cross: 1800 811 700
CARE Australia: 1800 020 046
UNICEF Australia: 1300 884 233
OXFAM: 1800 034 034

Thanks to NEWS.com.au for posting these charities on their website.

In the US:
CARE: 800-521-CARE
Oxfam America: 800-77-OXFAM
U.S. Fund for UNICEF: 800-4-UNICEF

In addition, CBSNews.com has an extensive list for anyone in the US wanting to donate, which can be found by clicking here.

There is a far far more extensive list of numbers for aid agencies and emergency information on another blog I've found, The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami. It has far more international information than I could ever hope to gather.
