Amounts may change quickly, but so far I found this...
France: 176,730 USD
Canada: 1,000,000 USD
Germany: 3,800,000 USD
USA: 35,000,000 USD (plus 12 vessels loaded with
food and medical supplies and saltwater converters for
drinking water. The total USA aid will soon be over a
billion dollars when counting relief supplies and
manpower costs.
The USA promises to greatly increase this amount as
needs become better coordinated and can be directed to
the right places and people.
( Not widely known nor even counted in the money
above, but 20% of the total UN contribution is funded
by the US taxpayers.)
Funny that UN Undersecretary Egeland accused the USA
of being stingy when the USA gives more aid than any
other nation.
As to the aid sent to the US after 9/11, I did
considerable checking and it appears the sum total of
aid sent by the countries you (APB) noted was, uh,....
zero, give or take a zero. France was zero, Sri Lanka
zero, Thailand zero... and so it goes.
But, its not about money is it? No, we are content
with all that wonderful goodwill and gratitude that
makes us so popular in the world. Gives us a sort of
warm feeling or is that warmth just from the Molotov
cocktails showering flaming gasoline on our tour bus?
