UN seeks immediate tsunami cash
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has urged international donors to convert pledges of aid for the tsunami victims into $1bn cash for immediate use.At the Indonesia aid conference, Mr Annan said there was "a race against time" to prevent another sharp rise in the death toll, now over 140,000.
Global pledges exceed $3bn but promises have not always come good in the past.
The EU is the latest international body to offer increased aid, pledging 100m euros ($132m) to the immediate effort.
Secretary of State Colin Powell said the group - which includes India, Australia and Japan - had served its purpose and would now work with the UN.
Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said in Jakarta he would also seek the European Parliament's approval for an additional 350m euros ($464m) for long-term reconstruction.
Meanwhile the US said it was disbanding what it called the core group of nations formed to tackle the crisis.
The BBC's Laura Trevelyan at the UN says officials who had feared that the core group would duplicate the UN's efforts will be quietly relieved by this move.
World and local leaders, aid groups and international organisations are attending the Jakarta conference.
