(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Japan was hit by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded on Friday. The magnitude-8.9 quake spawned a deadly tsunami that slammed into the nation's east coast, leaving a huge swath of devastation in its wake. Hundreds of people are dead and many more are still missing or injured.

Japan has often donated when other countries have experienced disasters, such as when Hurricane Katrina impacted the United States. Below are organizations that are working on relief and recovery in the region.

AMERICAN RED CROSS: Emergency Operation Centers are opened in the affected areas and staffed by the chapters. This disaster is on a scale larger than the Japanese Red Cross can typically manage. Donations to the American Red Cross can be allocated for the International Disaster Relief Fund, which then deploys to the region to help.You must login or register to view this content.

I like how so many Americans are worried about other countries, yet they don't seem to care about our country and how big of a hole its in right now.

they care because its a disaster like haiti and people of america think of other people than our own.

Sorry to seem to have no soul but who the **** cares about other countries. Why not work on out own to solve our problems?

BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES....UR SUCH A IGNORANT LITTLE BOY.?!

Bro, Put yourself in their position.. what if you were in big trouble and NOBODY helps you. How would you feel?

That is in no way a valid argument.



Implying that their own government wont help them at all. C'mon man.

Your taking the argument out of context. Just stop posting.
