Haiti earthquake

In the last few days it has been devastating to watch and read the sad news from Haiti, where the recent earthquake killed tens of thousands of people and left even more homeless. Many nations have expressed their solidarity by sending humanitarian and financial aid to the area.


First in line was the U.S. which will give US$100,000,000. Finland will give EUR1,250,000 which is about US$1.814.010. I found Singapore's contribution shocking. They will give SGD69,423 or approximately US$50.000. I made a chart to see how these donations match the populations of the mentioned countries. Results below.
