Throughout its intervention, Médecins Sans Frontières
(MSF) has remained determined that its programmes be driven by need alone,
and not by a desire to spend surplus funds. Perhaps the most controversial
decision MSF made during the tsunami response was to stop accepting funds
which could be used to help victims of the tsunami less than a week after
the disaster...» Read

| MSF PAUSES FUNDRAISING FOR TSUNAMI EMERGENCY
APPEAL
Médecins Sans Frontières thanks its donors for
their extraordinary support of our Tsunami Emergency Appeal through
our network of offices worldwide. To date, the contributions MSF
has received since the tsunami struck the region are estimated at
approximately $US54 million for this emergency.
The overwhelming response has enabled us to meet the immediate
funding needs of our emergency work in an unprecedented time. For
this reason, we are now pausing our appeal for those funds
specifically earmarked to the victims of the Tsunami disaster. However,
more relief projects will be launched by MSF in the coming days
and weeks, so we are still encouraging people to donate to our general
emergency fund... »

 Those
interested in volunteering please note that at this stage to

experienced volunteers that have already worked with us in other emergency
