World govts slow to come up with tsunami aid, says UN
Six weeks after the Indian Ocean tsunami tragedy, the UN has received little more than a third of tsunami aid funding pledged by governments, a senior official said today.
While the UN appeal of €760.8m has been largely met with written commitments, only €276.4m has been donated, said Margareta Wahlstrom, special envoy of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
