43. What's France up to? Let's take a look, shall we....

PARIS, Dec 30 (AFP) - France will provide 22.16 million euros (30.14 million dollars) in international aid for nations hit by the tsunami disaster in the Indian Ocean over the weekend, as the overall death toll rose to nearly 81,000, the foreign ministry said Wednesday.

A further 1.56 million euros in bilateral assistance was earmarked for "humanitarian aid and assistance to people" in the form of rescue and identification teams, specialists for psychological assistance, repatriations and maritime search patrols by sea and air.

Another 5.6 million euros are the French quota as part of an EU aid package, the ministry said.
