Syndicate: Aid

[David Hudson <dwh@berlin.snafu.de>]

A few days ago (it already seems like weeks ago), the issue of aid came up.
Obviously what's needed now are the basics: food, warm blankets, etc. I
found a few accounts set up for organizations seeing to these immediate
needs at Spiegel Online.

In the meantime, German foreign minister Joschka Fischer has called for a
conference in Bonn and invited UNHCR Commissioner Sadako Ogata, EU
Commissioner Emma Bonino and the foreign ministers of Albania,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Rumania, Slovenia,
Hungary, Finnland and Austria to discuss the refugee situation. (I didn't
see a date set for the conf in the story.)
