After the global financial crisis comes the global humanitarian crisis?

It seems like 2008 is becoming the year of global crisis. First we were faced with the worldwide food crisis, swiftly followed by, what now seems to be, a collapse of major financial institutions.

The question now is: how much money will be left for international aid?
