More money has been sent over there than they can possibly use for the forseeable future. Give them a chance to rebuild their infrastructure and see what is needed then. Give it a few months and you also reduce the liklihood of waste as well.

I've only heard one group say something along these lines thus far--Médecins Sans Frontières.

It is a good idea to stretch out your giving with a major disaster like this that will absorb many years/dollars. When they drift off the tv screens the funds will dry up. You may want to look for a group that is set up for long term development. As usual I'm going with CRS but there is a charity for everybody out there.
