From the BBC:
Rich world 'failing' on Quake Aid

"The charity, Oxfam, said less than 30% of $312m (£175m) sought by UN aid agencies has been pledged.

It said the US, Japan, Germany and Italy had given less than their "fair share"

It also said seven rich nations - Belgium, France, Austria, Finland, Greece, Portugal and Spain - had so far donated nothing at all."
