The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal for Indonesia, the Philippines and
Vietnam, first broadcast on TV on 6 October, has raised £7 million in its first 
month.

 

Over one million pounds came in via Royal Mail, despite concerns about potential
disruption due to postal strikes in October. DEC say that this level of postal donations
is consistent with previous DEC appeals.
