In response to the magnitude 8.9 earthquake that struck Japan, Amazon is working with the Red Cross to help collect funds to assist the victims. On each Amazon country site there is a link to the Red Cross website where donations can be made by those wishing to make a financial contribution to the relief efforts.

Initially the Red Cross had said “We cannot accept donations where the country affected has not asked for them. The Japanese Red Cross is a large, well-funded organisation, with a huge amount of experience dealing with natural disasters and well-established emergency response plans and supplies. We have to take our lead from them“, but that has now been updated and “The Japanese Red Cross has agreed to accept donations from the UK.”

If you want to donate simply visit any Amazon site and click on the Red Cross link or go directly to the Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal donation page.
