mehdi, talk is cheap! i wish you would have written about how people could help! you could perhaps provide info on how people can make donations in order to help the people of Bam.
I am in process of looking for ways that people can donate. I'll update my post shortly.
You can help by donating to MercyCorps. Copy the link and paste it all in one line. https://ssl.charityweb.net/mercycorps/?DonorIntent=Iran%20Earthquake&Custom15=wm
I used the MercyCorps link to donate, but there was a problem in submiting my credit card info. After submitting all the information, it told me that I had probably misspelled my credit card info. I tried it many times but got the error message all the same. Did any one else encounter the same problem?
To "A Reader": MercyCorps worked fine for me. I guess you can try a different web browser or a different credit card. I had also problems with making a payment today for something else. I guess in my case, the problem was due to using Mozilla instead of IE.
Today I read the dead toll has climbed to 25,000. 80% of Arg_e Bam the 2000 old historical city is also ruined. You can also donate money on RedCrossCanada web site : http://www.redcross.ca/article.asp?id=007611&tid=001
Alternative ways to make donations: 1- Canadian Red Cross accepts donations via phone (1-800-418-1111) or online http://www.redcross.ca/article.asp?id=007611&tid=001 You could also send a cheque to: Canadian Red Cross National Office, 170 Metcalfe Street, Suite 300, Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 2P2 2- International Red Cross.

TIM and VODAFON, the most important companies for mobile communication in Italy, have decided to help Iranian children, withe co-operation of UNICEF, in unique way: You call specified number and they reduce 1 Euro from your credite for this reason. Most of Italian TV channels show this declaration regurally. After it, I have faced to a crucial question: We are poor people in this scale?
