I know there are many websites where you can donate money.

Is there a website that allows you to buy whatever for the people who have been affected, like tents, cloths, medicine, water bottles etc.

asif, but that is where your donation money is going, to buy supplies, tents, medicines etc.
I work with the human development foundation and that is what they are doing, same for other groups like helping hands who have noted that $400 provides them enough funds to get a large warm tent, ten mattresses (well they said warm floor covering) and 10 blankets.

I have a question..

Is it better to donate money, or to buy goods which are to be sent over?
