Larry Minear, director of the Humanitarian and War Project at Tufts University’s Feinstein International Famine Centre, says Americans have a lot to learn from the global reaction to Hurricane Katrina.
Hurricane Katrina has turned the world’s preeminent aid donor into an aid recipient. Normally on the dispensing end of financial and technical assistance, the United States has now received offers of aid in cash and kind valued at $1 billion from some 100 countries and international organisations."
