The United Nations is calling on world governments to fulfill their pledges to help the victims of December’s tsunami in the Indian Ocean. Governments pledged nearly $1 billion but only about $360 million has been received so far. A spokesperson from Oxfam criticized the inaction saying “When the public pledged their funds, these were delivered in hours, yet governments have had over a month and far less than 50% has been delivered.”
