The State Department said offers had come from Belgium, Canada, Russia, Japan, France, Germany, Britain, China, Australia, Jamaica, Honduras, Greece, Venezuela, the Organization of American States, NATO, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, South Korea, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. That's as of 4 hours ago.

I think you may have no idea how offensive it is to those of us who live elsewhere to hear people say that no one is going to help, as if because we are not in agreement with the politics of a country, we'd ignore the needs of its citizens in the face of catastrophe.

The Canadian province I live in already has Medical doctors there to help. The goverment of Canada has offered to send our equivalent of the National Guard.

France is sending troops, doc and aid. Germany, the same.

The prayers of many are with you.
