Katrina aid arrives from around the world
If you want to win hearts & minds -- there is nothing more effective than feeding people. What IF some of the Gulf Coast residents who have never traveled outside the US come to love the countries who have sent them aid? HOPE for peace... :loveya:

Katrina aid arrives from around the world

JACKSONVILLE, Arkansas (AP) - Baby food from Israel. Blankets from Egypt and India. Tents from Russia. UNICEF school supplies sent via Denmark. Generators from China. Rice from Thailand. Bottled water and detergent from Tunisia.

<snip>

FEMA put out a list of what items were needed in the disaster zone, and foreign countries responded according to what they could offer.

On a recent day, an Israeli cargo jet sat bracketed by Egyptian and Russian planes on the same tarmac, all unloading hundreds of tons of food rations, baby formula, tents and other items. Flights were scheduled to arrive this week from Peru, Finland, Romania, Chile, South Korea, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Greece.
