Don't forget they are busy flying sorties near our airspaces so we have to scramble fighters to meet them, as we have done 21 times in a year.
It is good to hear that India, China, Thailand and Indonesia are getting involved- all of them have suffered terribly from such disasters in recent times so what comes around goes around.
I know China offered £2.5million and we offered £5.3million, though what is needed now more than anything is open borders- it is 40c in this part of the world and 100,000 could be lying dead, Burma must get a grip on this before they have a pandemic on their hands.
