Which was worse for japan the tsunami or the nuclear fall out?

Question:

why? and would sending money over be better then sending food or other resources. or should money go to a specific source.

Answer:

The tsunami killed over 10,000 people, including two workers at the Fukushima power plant, and destroyed a lot of property. The power plant problem killed no one. The "nuclear fallout" is less than you would get from your cellphone or microwave, unless you happened to be right next to the plant. Even then no one received any large doses of radiation.

Here is an informative article describing the situation:

- would sending money over be better then sending food or other resources

Yes. Sending money is the best way to help. For one thing, the shipping costs of sending actual items is very high so you wouldn't get a lot of bang for your buck, for another Japan has import restrictions so some items might not be allowed.

Here is one place to donate: http://jasdfw.org/
Click on the big red button to donate to the Sendai relief fund (you go through donor bridge and then click on Sendai relief fund).

Note that there are some scammers, so you have to be particular about where you give.

Sendai is the worst hit large city in Japan.
