Every time there is a natural disaster in another country we send aid and money. Our country has suffered so many natural disasters lately that I wonder, has any other country sent us anything ?

simple answer is yes.

the wiki post above is a good example, but really- TONS of countries give us aid (or at least attempt to).

Its hard to actually measure how much is given. Giving relief aid through the government is messy and a lot of it doesnt get through, but countries to try to, and they do give in other ways quite a bit (Red cross, etc). Actually the red cross is bound to be how most of it occurs. They are international, so people can give the Red Cross in their contry money, and that red cross will give the american red cross aid, etc.

I was wondering the same thing this morning. I would like to turn on the news and see millions of dollars in aid being sent to our tornado victims from foreign countries.

How about appreciating gifts instead of expecting

them? It isn't much when it's based on altruism or

expectations.

I don't appreciate the mexicans gift at all, either.
