Overall, internationally, donors have promised about $2-billion in disaster assistance. The money has come from wealthy nations like the U.S., Japan and Canada, as well as two of the world's poorest nation's, Nepal and East Timor.
However, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan urged caution about the $2 billion figure.
"We've got over $2-billion [in pledges] but it is quite likely that at the end of the day we will not receive all of it. I think you heard about the example of the Bam earthquake in Iran, we got lots of pledges but we did not receive all the money."
