Sept 5, (Reuters) - Hurricane Katrina has devastated New Orleans and U.S. Gulf Coast states, killing hundreds of people and possibly thousands, and drawing support pledges from rich and poor, traditional friends and foes of the United States.
The United States, a major world donor itself, last week let it be known it would accept help from a variety of nations.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice decided 'no offer that can help alleviate the suffering of the people in the afflicted area will be refused.'"
