Governments around the world offered their help, with United States President Barack Obama ordering emergency aid, including an aircraft carrier, to Japan after the catastrophe he described as “simply heartbreaking.”
The US Agency for International Development said it was sending two teams of some 72 personnel, dogs and around 75 tons of rescue equipment each…”
