That's about 1/3 of what Japan alone gave. Nice to see 18 (or is it 21 now) industrialized nations living in peace with minimal military expenditures can find the resources.
I'll bet this is less than the EU spends on needle exchanges and pre-teen condoms.

Oops, I see Japan has changed its pledge to $1.5 billion. Still pretty huge compared to Germany's.
