ABC News: Red Cross Raises Enough in Tsunami Relief

GENEVA Jan 26, 2005 — The International Red Cross said Wednesday it was winding down its tsunami appeal after raising nearly $1.2 billion in just 30 days, enough to fund the recovery effort for 10 years.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said the general public contributed 85 percent of the $1.17 billion donated for tsunami relief.
