What country by far sends vastly more public/private support to help victims of disasters?

Answer 1

Probably the United States, due to its sheer size and wealth. However, since most of the donations are private, it is difficult to gage.

I think you would only get a clear picture if you asked every charity in the world exactly where all their private donations come from.

The United States gives more as a country (government donations) in foreign aid than any other. However, not all of that aid is for disaster relief. Much of it is the helping hand countries have always contributed to the poor - the building of schools, hospitals; irrigation systems, seed and fertilizer, disease prevention and treatment; much is in military aid (which is sometimes iffy when you consider that category includes arms sales for "defence" and a lot of that goes to relatively rich countries who don't really need it - most goes to Israel and Egypt but a lot goes to Eastern Europe; but this also includes the use of US ships, helicopters and military personnel to disburse aid to disaster victims).

And of course outside of this equasion is the amount of money people give to the poor (not just to disaster victims, but also to people who are generally needy) through tithes. Muslims and Roman Catholics are duty-bound to give 10% of their incomes (although not all do give that much, and some don't give at all) for the benefit of the poor, but Protestant churches and Jewish synagogues also take up collections for the poor. Even the media gets involved...The Jerusalem Post is always hitting me up for money for the poor...it seems every day some charity is asking. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to give to everybody and have had to limit myself to a couple of "pet" charities.

Lastly, there are private foundations - most of the ones I know are US-based like the Gates and the Kerry/Heinz - who donate gi-normous amounts which benefit the poor generally, and those annual donations do get shared with disaster victims.

I think you will have a hard time tracking donations to the Red Cross, Red Crescent and Medicins Sans Frontieres; it may be easier to get statistics from the likes of Oxfam, Save the Children and various UN charities like UNICEF.

Answer 2

ok, enable's say your lives in a community of disaster. Do you load up a truck of fabric, (nutrition, gas, and clothing) and force to the section and then hand it out to the 1st strangers you return to? No, you force to the relatives's region, locate out what has befell to them and then provide them the aspects you further. in the event that they have sufficient, then they share it with the buddies who're affected purely like them. jointly as you declare that we've 1000000000 greenback employer, many of the money are already budgeted for focused purposes. accomplishing 100s of million of human beings each and each year takes distinctive artwork, coaching and fee. So, despite help we can provide comes out of our wallet (purely like the aspects you took on your loved ones). jointly as you ridicule our efforts, the only concern we do comprehend is that one hundred% of what we provide gets there. such distinctive of the 'charities' that declare to help human beings (even the pink go) in basic terms 40 to 60 p.c. get to those that choose help. Plus there are particularly some, that throughout the time of basic terms 10% get any the place close to the disaster section. The aspects to Haiti working example are paying "lease" on cruise ships so as that the "helpers" have a luxurious place to unwind and refresh themselves. all of us comprehend that our money went directly to aspects, and with actual volunteers, those aspects have been given to the two our "relatives" and their buddies. Our brothers stay WITH the Haitian human beings, no longer on a posh boat.
