Greetings from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
It is old news that Jan Egeland, the U.N. Undersecretary of Humanitarian Affairs criticized the U.S. for being "stingy" with relief funds. I e-mailed Mr. Egeland to learn more.

The response from OCHAWebmaster@un.org:

We regret that Mr. Egeland's statement was taken out of context and misinterpreted. He was not referring to any specific country, but rather was encouraging rich countries to make contributions commensurate with humanitarian needs. Mr. Egeland has acknowledged the generous contributions of many countries in response to the South Asia Earthquake and Tsunami disaster.

Thank you for your concern.
