QUICK.. I need help....

does anybody have a link to a site that tells what countries gave or offered aide to us after katrina? Mother in law's only source of news is the idiot box and she thinks nobody offered any help at all.

I seem to remember that it was a lot of countries.

NATO and its partner countries have responded to the United States’ request for assistance with offers of food, medical supplies and equipment.

To date, 27 countries - Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom - have informed NATO’s Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre that they are providing the United States with requested items.

The aid provided includes food supplies, bottled water, water purification units, medical supplies, tents and camp beds, generators, water pumps, ships, helicopters, financial contributions and forensic teams.

A number of other NATO and partner countries have also responded, communicating their assistance via other channels or to the United States directly.

Solidarity in a time of crisis
On 4 September, the United States requested from NATO relief support in the form of food, medical and logistical supplies.

NATO’s Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Center (EADRCC) has provided this list to NATO and partner countries and is helping to co-ordinate the response.

A NATO liaison officer has also been dispatched to Washington to work with the US authorities, in particular the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

NATO stands ready to continue to support the United States as it recovers from this natural disaster.

9/7/2005 - LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. (AFPN) -- The first international aid for Hurricane Katrina victims touched down in Arkansas on Sept. 5, and more international flights are on the way.

The base was tapped as the hub and clearinghouse for all international aid air shipments for Hurricane Katrina victims.

"Little Rock Air Force Base is proud to be participating in the relief effort for Hurricane Katrina," said Brig. Gen. Joseph M. Reheiser, 314th Airlift Wing commander. "Serving as the hub for international aid, Little Rock Air Force Base stands ready and able to take on the incoming relief supplies. Our Airmen have played a vital role in this process and are working hard to provide relief to our southern neighbors."

The base has already received more than 180 tons of cargo and is expected to receive an additional 250 tons in the next few days, officials said.

(I included this in the information that you should give her because it shows that the US government acknowledges that international aid was received.)
