Why is the world being niggardly towards Pakistan?

Why has the global  response to one of the worst calamities in the last fifty years been so lukewarm ?Almost one quarter to a  third of the country has been affected and almost 20 million people  are suffering and yet the response appears to be less than what was offered to the tiny island of Haiti or Sri Lanka during the tsunami?

Whatever the world might feel about the rulers of the country , it is time to focus on the human suffering and not play politics. By showing how the world leaders can rise above the political issues, the rulers might get the message that the world does care about Pakistan and will do whatever is necessary. After all the Americans helped rebuild Germany and Japan after the world war, during which  millions of people were killed. Let us again show them the big bigheartedness and provide the necessary support to avoid future deaths of the children and babies who are the most vulnerable and which will likely happen unless the aid effort is stepped up.
