At the end of the article:

“An article in the April 29, 2007 Washington Post claimed that of the $854 million offered by foreign countries, whom the article dubs “allies,” to the US Government, only $40 million of the funds had been spent “for disaster victims or reconstruction” as of the date of publication (less than 5%).[[49]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_response_to_Hurricane_Katrina#cite_note-Solomon_2007-48)  
Additionally, a large portion of the $854 million in aid offered went uncollected, including over $400 million in oil (almost 50%).”

Obviously our government doesn’t give a shit either.
