I have since done a search and found the following:
What's with the UK donating less than a million?
Anyway, as I said in an earlier post, every single dollar counts. Individuals can make a difference too. See my post above for links to how YOU can help save lives...

On the radio today it was reported the UK had pledged £15 million (about 25 million USD)

The following link also contains this info.
"On Wednesday, the UK government pledged £15m ($29m) to help the first phase of the relief effort - making Britain the second largest donor after the US.
Many other governments and bodies - including Canada, European countries and the UN - are sending aid. "
