GENEROUS donors in the West Midlands have pledged almost £10m to the Asian tsunami appeal.
According to statistics from The Disasters Emergency Committee, a total of £9.9m has been given by people in the West Midlands, including Worcestershire, the second highest region in the country.
The total fund now stands at well over £76m and is on course to top £100m.
Brendan Gormley, Disasters Emergency Committee Chief Executive, said: "We are so grateful to everyone who has donated and worked to raise money for the DEC in cities, towns and villages across the UK.
"Our member agencies now have teams on the ground working to deliver urgent food and medical supplies and to alleviate the immediate effects of the disaster."
