U.S. Offered Katrina Aid from over 2 Dozen Countries

Offers have been received from Russia, Japan, Canada, France, Honduras, Germany, Venezuela, Jamaica, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, China, South Korea, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, NATO and the Organization of American States, the spokesman said.

I found this to be a pleasant surprise. Normally it is the USA that is quick to offer aid after disasters, and I can't recall the press ever mentioning that the US being on the receiving end of such things in the past. Read the full story for details of what has been offered, etc. The above excerpt does not include all countries that have offered aid.

Thank you to those nations and corporations that are making this positive gesture.
