Nice site, alltough I wonder what the numbers mean and how up-to-date they are.

Is it only goverment aid or are private donations included?

Here in the Netherlands we have a fixed central account number that is used for all disaster aid donations (giro 555), so it's easy to check the dutch numbers (140 mil $ atm, not 4 mil the site says)

Just wondering how other countries organize this...

Yeah I'm not saying anything as to the accuracy of the numbers I just like these types of visual presentations of data. According to the notes this is one if not only source:

The problem with charts like this is they really only look at cash, and ignore other items.

Like old, musty army tents? C'mon they were purchased for something like $10,000 each in 1982 and we donated 100 of them. Ergo: $1,000,000 in aid!

Fuck yeah, Canada.

Look at the bottom. Canada seems to promise a lot but deliver a little over half of it.

I would guess the individual donations goes into the private individuals and organizations part. That would screw the figures up though if your government takes the donations.
