Fentressjets: a note extracted from the news :

"The United Nations has taken the lead in coordinating natural disaster relief around the world for the past five decades. But its focus has been mainly on poor nations.

U.N. assistance was first offered to Washington on Wednesday by Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland, who led the global aid effort after December's Indian Ocean tsunami.

But U.S. officials, while thanking the world body for its offer, did not request any assistance at that time.

More recently, however, U.S. officials have signaled they were open to all offers as dozens of foreign governments lined up to pledge assistance."


help from other countries is on the way, but unfortunately, not as fast as it could been done.
