Which country is the most generous with other nations have a disaster?

Question

Extra credit: Which organizations give the most? Are they private or UN based or .... ?

Answer 1

It'll be interesting to see what the world, and indeed the US offers Burma for the disaster there these past few days.

In response to your question, at a guess, I would expect the UN would lead in terms of facilitating aid. I do agree though with Holiday. Many countries pledge money that they don't fulfil. One example would be the Millennium Development Goals. I'm embarrassed to admit that I live in a developed nation (Australia) that is contributing far less than other countries less fortunate, with a budget that is several times larger. At the very least, we shouldn't have signed the agreement, if it wasn't going to be fulfilled.

Answer 2

India. It also donated to U.S. During Hurricane Katrina through Red Cross and now is donating to Myanmar Badly Hit By Cyclone.

Answer 3

I'd have to go w/ the USA

Answer 4

The U.S says "OH OH OH I WANNA HELP"

But we never do.

China does, they are the source of all goods sent there, if you trace it back

Answer 5

The US, but not just the government. Indeed, individuals and NGOs give the most. It isn't just because we are a superpower, if you look at giving as a percentage of GDG or per capita, you will still see that we outgive the other nations of the world. I think it has a lot to do with our melting pot culture and our largely Judeau-Christian worldview.

Charity is supposed to be a pillar of Islam, yet these nations only give token amounts of charity. If you're rich and give a copper to a beggar, you can check off the box for giving, but did you _really_ give? No.

Answer 6

In the case of natural disasters usually the USA, Israel and Australia offer the most help per capita. The filthy rich oil sheiks would not give a cent. They rather spend it on luxuries for them selves. Ironically the Muslims rather hate the helping hands than the indifferent oil sheiks.

Answer 7

The United States !!!!!!!!!!!!!! how about WHO helps us?
