So according to your link, China is severely out pacing us on the humanitarian front. Great look. $14M > $2M 400 search and rescue > 3 officer staff Planes full of supplies vs ? We mobilized to go Turkey and Syria the day of, but this time? There’s no positive spin on our reaction to this disaster, Oklahoma. Just partisan entrenchment.
We should have pledged at least 10 times that amount for disaster relief in Myanmar. In response to the 2004 Indonesian Tsunami and earthquake the US provided over $400 million on disaster aid most of which was distributed through USAID.

Marking Twenty Years On From the Devastating Indian Ocean Tsunami The United States contributed more than $400 million in aid, reaching nearly 600,000 Indonesian people. This tragedy also catalyzed enhanced civil-military Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief cooperation between the United States and partners such as Australia, Japan, and India, laying the groundwork for future collaboration in disaster response and resilience-building across the Indo-Pacific region. What the Dear Leader and has sidekick from South Africa have recently done. USAID ends operations in Indonesia, raising concerns over aid programmes USAID has been a key partner in post-disaster recovery efforts in Indonesia since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Between 2006 and 2011, the agency allocated millions of dollars through the Tsunami Recovery and Reconstruction Fund, benefiting over 580,000 people in Aceh. This support included rebuilding the 146-kilometre Banda Aceh-Calang road, revitalising the Gayo coffee industry, and strengthening disaster mitigation strategies. The current uncertainty surrounding USAID funding raises concerns about Indonesia’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to future natural disasters. USAID has historically provided rapid and large-scale humanitarian assistance in times of crisis.
