Unfortunately, the media in the USA rarely if ever report this. I regularly watch BBC NEWS and ITN WORLD NEWS, both produced in the UK. They do report on offers of aid made to the USA by other countries. But I have never seen or heard of this on NBC, CBS or ABC or CNN News. Our domestic news media have a very myopic view of world affairs and usually focus exclusively on national and domestic affairs. M.
