When the world has these major catastrophes like the two right now. The Earthquake in Nepal and the volcanic eruption in Chile; how many other countries try to help out?
I'm thinking Russia never does unless they are good friends.

"Moscow is also dispatching a team of more than fifty rescue workers to Nepal to assist in the relief and rescue operations.
“More than fifty rescue workers from the Tsentrospas detachment and the Leader center are prepared for go to Nepal immediately. They have expansive experience of operations in the areas struck by earthquakes. These rescuers have helped eliminate the aftermaths of quakes in Haiti, Turkey and China,” an official at Russia’s Ministry for Emergency Situations said in Moscow.
The Russian team is armed with high-tech equipment that would enable it to work autonomously in the quake-hit Himalayan country."
Is this supposed to be a "let's point out how much better we are than every other country?" thread

In Nepal's case the below countries so far has assisted with aid. Russia rarely assists countries outside of their spare of influence...
Omg, the delusion, the USAid program is insanely corrupt, most of the money is skimmed off the top. I suggest to watch Vice Season03Ep07 to get a good understanding.

Interesting that you asked.
We found that about 94% of humanitarian funding went to donors' own civilian and military entities, UN agencies, international NGOs and private contractors. In addition, 36% of recovery grants went to international NGOs and private contractors.
