Yo, bush! Here's what a *real* Coalition of the Willing looks like!
US offered hurricane help by more than 90 countries
Ireland On-Line 06/09/2005 - 21:08:34

More than 90 countries have offered assistance to victims of Hurricane Katrina, with Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates contributing $100m (€80.2m) each in cash donations, the State Department said in Washington today.

The US eagerly accepted a German offer of high-speed pumps to reduce the floodwaters in New Orleans and of experts on levee reconstruction from the Netherlands.

“There is a process of matching needs with expertise and the donations that have been made,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

He said the US healthcare system is meeting current needs stemming from the hurricane. That could mean that offers of medical experts from Cuba and other countries will not be accepted, but McCormack said no decisions have been made.
