It is to be expected from the ostensible rationale of aid that very poor countries would receive more aid, so a country with OK GDP but very high aid is being aided for reasons other than need. This list could be a little more useful if the obvious anomaly of the top three countries of the list was given a little more evidence; eg, comparing countries' GDP to the ratio.
This also shows the amount of money spent by the US on aid is tiny, relative to the giant public relations (WP) boost gained from aid (see the next sentence, the first in the original article). In American Afghanistan, the US beats you with a hammer and then gives you a cookie.
The United States (WP) is the largest provider of foreign aid in the world. This list compares some recipients of nation-specific economic aid against their respective annual GDP (WP) for the year 2010. [1] [2]
