More proof of Americans not caring...

I'm willing to bet that this is more then the combined sums given by the EU members.

Americans Raise Half Billion Dollars for Haiti

Since the devastating earthquake in Haiti
Jan. 12, Americans have donated nearly
half a billion dollars to 23 U.S. charities for
relief efforts, but most of the money hasn’t
been spent yet, according to numbers reported
this week.
Eighteen percent of that $500 million is
being spent on food and water, 11 percent is
going toward medical supplies and clinics,
six percent on housing, and two percent on
operations, an ABC News investigation
found.
But 69 percent of the total donations —
about $325 million — is in the bank, to be
used for food and water, medical care, shelter
and operational costs over the long
term.
The charities that received donations include
Operation USA, American Refugee
Committee, Merlin, Doctors Without Borders,
ABC reported. According to ABC:
The largest recipient of donations
— the Red Cross — said it’s
spent about a third of the quarter
billion dollars it raised, mostly on
shelter items like tents, blankets
and tarps. The Red Cross is also
providing hygiene kits, kitchen
sets, drinking water and vaccinations.
Another organization, Oxfam
America has opened eight different
sites in Haiti, providing clean
drinking water and latrines. They
say they are serving 90,000 people.
And a medium-sized charity —
International Medical Corps —
raised $4.5 million and has spent
about $1.6 million. They began
operating at Haiti’s University
hospital on the day after the
earthquake. The group is “operating
13 mobile clinic sites covering
15 sites,” according to their
Web site, serving a target population
of approximately 450,000.
World Vision provided the
most detail about its work. As of
Feb. 5, World Vision raised about
$77 million worldwide including
$25 million in cash from the U.S.
Among their priorities — shelter,
water and sanitation, and efforts
to protect children.
The Hope for Haiti Now telethon brought
in about $66 million, which was distributed
to seven different charities.
