The scale of the response was unprecedented, not only in the amount of money raised but also in the proportion of funding from the general public and the speed with which money was pledged or donated
At least a further $2.5bn was added by the governments of affected countries and a further $190m formally by their population.
There is no reliable estimate of the economic value of the contribution made by the affected population to their own survival. Practical self-help, however, is unquantifiable.
