Aid: Who gets most?

Iraq received $12.9 billion in aid in 2004-2005, according to the OECD, as relief and reconstruction efforts continue apace. This dwarfs the amount received by other countries, with the next biggest, Nigeria, getting $3.2 billion. Other conflict-ridden regions such as Afghanistan and Sudan also feature. China, India and Indonesia each receive enough to appear in the top ten, but this is spread thinly between their combined populations of some 2.6 billion people.
