Contribute carefully
Considering that Sri Lanka which has reported at least 20,000 dead as of this writing has rejected a generous offer by Israel for aid, and that the official newspaper of the Vatican has condemned Israel for refusing to help tsunami victims), readers should be focused when contributing to the victims of the tragedy in southeast Asia.
You can contribute to Chabad. There are three Chabad Houses in Thailand and others in southeast Asia. Also remember, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies don't accept Magen Dovid Adom because it is from Israel, and because of its six pointed Jewish star, so why bother giving to the former two?
