Perhaps it’s because it’s a staunchly CHRISTIAN country?
Oil-rich Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s wealthiest countries. But though it’s generous when it comes to building Islamic religious schools and mosques throughout the world, Saudi Arabia has been rather miserly when it comes to the suffering of the people of Haiti….
The United Arab Emirates, for example, has launched an air bridge for getting relief supplies to Haiti. Qatar has dispatched 50 metric tons of aid to Haiti, and Kuwait has made an initial pledge of $1 million, as has Morocco.
Earthquake-prone Turkey and Iran also are helping. Ankara has dispatched a mobile hospital to Haiti and Tehran has donated 30 metric tons of aid.
Even some poorer Middle East countries are helping out. Jordan has sent a planeload of supplieswhile Lebanon has committed to taking part in relief efforts. Israel has dispatched medical rescue teams to Haiti.
Saudi King Abdullah, meanwhile, has sent a message of condolence to Haitian President René Préval.
Hey, THANKS king… that goes a long way in helping suffering people…..
