救灾组织所得民间捐献将获加政府对应拨款

Government to match private donations to aid groups working in Myanmar, China (Myanmar-China-Aid)

OTTAWA _ Bev Oda, the minister of International Co-operation,
said Thursday the federal government will match private donations
made to aid groups working on disaster relief in Myanmar and China.

Oda earlier promised $2 million for aid to cyclone-ravaged
Myanmar, where tens of thousands have died and hundreds of thousands are homeless.

Her promise to match the donations of individuals will raise that
figure.

Canada also offered help to China, where an earthquake killed
tens of thousands on Monday, but there's no word on whether such aid is needed or wanted.

``We're constantly talking with the organizations on the ground
and we're going to be responding as they assess their needs and get
their requests into us,'' Oda told reporters.

But the money is nowhere near what Canada should be offering, a
Liberal MP countered.

``We've asked for that to be increased by tenfold, you can't do
much with two million dollars,'' Keith Martin said.

Myanmar state television said Thursday that the official cyclone
death toll to has climbed to more than 43,000, while UN officials
have said the number of dead could be more than 100,000.

Officials in China said Thursday the death toll from that
disaster could reach 50,000.

Canada has also offered help to China, but there's no word on whether such aid is needed or wanted.



Oda is also promising that the government will do all it can to ensure that aid reaches the victims in Myanmar. Relief work there has been slowed by the government, which has been wary of letting foreign aid workers in the country.

大家有没有比加拿大红十字更好的捐款点，同时又符合政府match的？
听说加拿大红十字会捐款总额有一定上限，超过额度会被用到别的地方，我知道美国的红十字会是这样的
