Earthquake Adds to Relief Challenges

Earthquake Adds to Relief Challenges: "t seems like it's disaster after disaster. The tsunami, then Hurricane Katrina, and now the earthquake. Literally millions of people desperately need help. Where will it come from? With so many people already donating to families here at home, some say they just don't have enough money to go around.

The tsunami that left more than 200,000 dead in 11 different countries. It left a million homeless in Sri Lanka alone. Hurricane Katrina claimed more than 1,200 lives and left 350,000 homeless. There's no total on how many lives were lost in the earthquake in Pakistan, but could be as many as 40,000. This disaster left more than 2.5 million with no place to call home."
