A Web site sponsored by several US technology giants has collected nearly US$58 million in donations to help recovery efforts from last week's attacks in New York and Washington.

The Web site, American Liberty Partnership, said it has raised US$57.7 million for nearly 30 charitable groups including the American Red Cross, Salvation Army and the New York State World Trade Centre Relief Fund.

The donations received from public and business groups will be used to help in the rebuilding efforts and to assist charitable organisations offering medical and financial assistance to the survivors.

The partners of the American Liberty Project include: Amazon.com, AOL Time Warner, Cisco, eBay, Microsoft and Yahoo.

Donations can be made at www.libertyunites.org.
