Yes, you're right, Jens. The numbers seem to be constantly changing and going up, as the tragedy and it's solutions are being assessed and re-assessed. As of yesterday, I heard that Japan had contributed the largest amount of government money at about $500 million US. But countries' contributions are going up daily.
The Norwegian government, representing 4 million people, is now considering to give approximately $150 million. Already people have given about $34 million directly to some organizations, like the Red Cross.
Yes, some of the money will fill other pockets but it is still worth it so save some lives.
