(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.

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

If "Bigger" Countries Don't Help Other "Smaller" Countries Choas Spreads, It Would Make Other Counties Wonder Why The "Bigger" Counties Ain't Helping, Countries Might Start To Think That America Is Against Japan And Any Other Country That Is In Danger. Its Alot Easier To Help Them, But I Do Agree We Need To Sort Out Our Own Country.

*This Is Just My Opinion And Thoughts Don't Take This The Wrong Way*

I know. It also seems that if something happened in America, nobody would help. But Americans always help others.

they just kept all the money donated to haiti no wonder haiti still fu-ked up

so far $5,117,003 has been donated.

If you are serious with that question, then sadly, you are a small minded fool, and I hope karma finds you mate.



That isn't true bro, alot of countries would help, Its just because Americans seem to be so proud (Thats good, dont get me wrong) and stubborn that they would rather refuse help, and solve it themselves. This is also true with Japan, I'd imagine, that the government will be swallowing thier tongues when accepting assistance lol
But in all seriousness any country knows that when this happens it is impossible to not accept aid from foreign countries.
I just watched the news while eating tea, and saw that the confirmed dead/missing list is at 27,000 people - at the minimum.
I find this disturbing, that people can see this, and then once the news is finished, go about as if it had never happened.
just a 'bad' movie or something.
I cant get my mind off of this, i mean 27k people just gone...
Gone. Forever, thier friends, family, children, relatives. Just gone.
I saw one person saying that they had given up hope of finding thier wife, so they started to find a way back in to the capital.
Then i saw an old man who said he would not stop searching until he found his sister...

Trust me, reaing this isn't the same as watching him saying it.
I mean damn people, wtf can we do.
Cant we donate all premium payments for this month or something?
Something more than watching videos on youtube, and then discussing it, then shutting it out.
I have donated to a charity for Japan Relief, and once I get my PSN card will be buying the new Help Japan themes from the PS Store.
I think it is a great idea by SONY personally, as 100%, yes 100%, will be given to Japan.
Idk people, just needed to let out some steam, this really fukin sucks.
I dont know what else to say but it fukkin sucks!
Wish i cold get tere too help, anyway i could.
Please comment I wantto know how you guys feel.....

Help yourself then others :y:
