The United States said Monday it would donate 50,000 dollars in emergency aid to Italy after a powerful earthquake killed at least 100 people.
"We send our heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed in the earthquake. Our embassy in Rome will provide 50,000 (dollars) in emergency relief funding," State Department spokesman Robert Wood told reporters.
Italian authorities told the United States they did not need rescue teams, Wood said.
President Barack Obama earlier offered his condolences on a visit to Turkey and voiced hope that the United States could send rescuers.

FIFTY THOUSAND?!?!?!?
Wow. What an insult! That might pay for, what, an hour of helicopter search & rescue?
This Barrack is a total asshole. [Can I say "asshole" on your blog, it probably pushes the cuss meter way up if I say "asshole" a lot.]
anyway, this asshole doesn't even realize it's like leaving a waiter a 2 cent tip. Don't even bother.
50 k? Insulting beyond belief...
When we execute O'Vomit for treason, I recommend the guillotine be used.
