Reuters AlertNet - U.S. donations after earthquake way below tsunami: "By Alan Elsner
WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Americans' charitable donations to victims of last month's earthquake in Pakistan are a tiny fraction of the $1.5 billion they gave after December's Asian tsunami but charity officials say it is more a matter of timing than a lack of compassion.
So far, donations to earthquake victims total $43 million, according to figures compiled by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University."
