Most probably, i heard today that the US congress is allocating $10.5 billion to the hurricane relief and that $40 billion will be added later, so that's a total of $50.5 billion that the US is dedicating to that catastrophe... When after that you hear that an extremely poor country like Angola is giving $400,000 to the US, it sounds rather obscene.
