Pakistan floods: Why aid is so slow compared to Haiti earthquake - CSMonitor.com: "nearly three weeks into the disaster in Pakistan, the roughly $230 million committed to help 15 million people affected breaks down to about $15 committed per flood affected person. Within 10 days of the Haiti earthquake, $742 million was committed (and $920 million pledged).
