Taipei, (CNA) Taiwan will donate US$300,000 to Japan to help with disaster relief, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said Friday hours after the northeastern part of Honshu was ravaged by a magnitude 8.9 earthquake and two powerful tsunamis.

Foreign Affairs Minister Timothy C.H. Yang commissioned John Feng, Taiwan's representative in Japan, to donate US$300,000 to the "severely damaged" country on behalf of Taiwan's government, according to a MOFA statement.

The minister also asked Feng to convey to Japan's authorities the message that a Taiwanese search and rescue team is ready to be dispatched to the scene of the natural disaster at any time.

Earlier Friday, President Ma Ying-jeou and Premier Wu Den-yih both extended their sympathy and concern to Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, according to the statement.

Taiwan's representative office in Japan is now checking the safety of Taiwanese .

japan only seems to be asking for help from country they see as their closest allies right now, they seem reluctant to accept help from other countrys

300 thousand is not a lot of money, but it all adds up i guess
