#1 Wow! $100,000 will buy a lot of religious policemen and headchoppers!

You didn't think the aid will get to the victims do you?

From Barnabas Fund:
In the past few weeks there has been an upsurge in the persecution of Christians. In a village near Banda Aceh seven houses built by a Christian organisation for Christian victims of the 2004 tsunami cannot be occupied by the Christian families they were intended for. Local Muslims organised public demonstrations outside the houses, protesting at the imminent arrival of the Christian families, who dared not then move in. Signs were erected outside the houses to say that Christians were not allowed. The same Christian organisation had built over 200 houses for Muslim victims, but only Christians were prevented from occupying their houses.

#3 I believe the embassy can only give 50K and the Red Cross can match funds. Splitting hairs, I know, but then all the funds go through the Red cross with the correct burdon, all the food and supplies must be bought locally, and it will say Red Cross/cresent and not US when it is delivered. Lots of room for corruption.
