US Didn't Accept Most Foreign Katrina Aid
Allies offered the United States $854 million in cash and in oil that was to be sold for cash to aid Hurricane Katrina victims. But only $40 million has been used so far for disaster victims or reconstruction, according to US officials and contractors. Most of the aid went uncollected, including $400 million worth of oil. Some offers were withdrawn or redirected to private groups such as the Red Cross. The rest has been delayed by red tape and bureaucratic limits on how it can be spent.
