India unlikely to accept foreign donations for Kerala floods

shameless govt.
sees fake vanity more than the lives of the nation.

Do you know what people expect in return when they give you aid? Political and cultural influence.

Sorry, if India can bear the cost out of its 400+ billion dollars reserve, we dont need to carry aid baggage.

Let the shameless cry for aid.

Never heard a Gujrati or a Tamil or a North Indian abusing the Centre when natural calamity struck them.

India will never dare mess with Tamils

India didn't take any financial aid from any Govt or organization when Earthquake struck Gujrat killing 17,000 people, or during Tsunami or during the Kashmir Earthquakes (CNN actually ran a campaign criticising and ridiculling Indian Govt for not accepting aid during that time) or the recent Uttarakhand Floods which killed around 6,000 people. Don't know what's changed here that we should accept foreign Aids.

Rival Pakistan offers India help

Pakistan has sent tents and blankets
India's traditional rival, Pakistan, has put aside differences with its neighbour to offer relief aid for victims of the Gujarat earthquake.

A C-130 transport plane, carrying 200 tents and more than 2,000 blankets, has arrived in Ahmedabad from the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi.

The government and people of Pakistan share the grief of bereaved families

Pakistan's military leader, General Musharraf
Two more relief flights are due to be sent out on Wednesday and Thursday.
The BBC's Islamabad correspondent, Susannah Price, says the donation of relief goods is being seen as a positive move by both sides.

Beyond politics

Pakistan was among a growing number of nations stepping forward to provide money, supplies or teams of experts to help India cope with the devastation left by Friday's earthquake.

''I have been saddened at the tragic loss of life and property in the earthquake,'' Pakistan's military leader, General Pervez Musharraf said in a statement after the quake.

Tents, medicine and water are needed
Pakistani officials said the desperate situation of the survivors in Gujarat transcended political differences.
Islamabad's relief effort followed earlier confusion over whether or not India would accept aid from Pakistan.

Some 12 people were killed by the quake in Pakistan itself.

The United Nations has sent a five-member disaster assessment team to India and said it was ready to help in any way.

The British Red Cross sent 47,000 blankets and Britain has pledged £3m ($4.4m) to help survivors.

A 69-member British rescue team flew to India to help locate people still buried in rubble.


The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies was preparing to send to emergency hospitals to India once they received initial reports from teams already on the ground.

Sniffer dogs

The Swiss Disaster Corps, which is famous for its expertise in coping with avalanches and earthquakes, has sent a team of 48 rescuers with sniffer dogs as well as 10 tonnes of supplies.

Taiwan, which was hit by huge earthquake which killed thousands, called in a team of 64 rescuers to help look for buried survivors.

The Japanese Red Cross sent 13 medical workers, three of them on Saturday and the rest on Sunday.

China's Red Cross has pledged $50,000 for relief efforts.

US President George W Bush offered his condolences on Friday and said American was ready to assist in any way.

Britain gave India nearly £300 m aid last year
Official figures reveal that Britain spent £11.7billion on aid - including £279million for India - despite objections from Tory MPs

Britain gave India nearly £300million in financial aid last year despite pledges by ministers to end the handouts.

India became the second highest recipient of Britain's aid spendingafter its funding rose by £10million to nearly £279million, more than Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Syria.

Conservative MPs said the amount of taxpayer's money being given to one of the World's fastest growing economies is "ridiculous".

India has its own space programme and recently unveiled plans to spend more than £10billion on a fleet of new warships and submarines.

Hope you understand the difference between Financial and non financial help. Non financial helps like food, medicine or boots on the ground are needed to save people and give immediate relief. Financial help are used to recover the losses.

Okay. Here is the thing; donations are not a problem.

The government has more than enough funds as well as significant donations from within India to cover up for the cost. There is no vanity involved here. India has been able to address its natural disasters woes since 2004 Tsunami when India refused massive donations from entities in Europe and Middle East.

Reason?

India's economy can take it and we have met the requirement. The military is already rehabilitating people there and so are the dozens of aid workers and state and national relief officers.

The issue currently faced by them is logistical which is also being ironed out.

Most foreign donations come with invisible strings which only cause rifts later. These are initially disguised as 'well meaning' but as they say; there is no free lunch.

SO before you start whining about the government, think why the donations are being refused.

Absolutely right bro .
I dont know what these people think about this .
Arabs are way better than West .
But still avoid foreign Govt support ,they can help us through NGOs.
When one family faces tough times they wont take aid from neighbour houses ,no matter what.

 

[SrNair]

Are wahh now came out from hole .
This tragedy happens becausr of your Govt and you are going to pay for it sure.

 

[SrNair]

Do you mean it, losses in Kerala is in excess of 18,000-20,000 crore.

The aid/fund provided/promised by Modi govt. is a paltry 500-600 crore rupees, this is like adding insult to injury.
