3.67/43300 = 0.0085% of per capita income.
Population of Saudi is 27 million. Per capita income is thus about $13,555. Their $6.5 million donation to the food program works out to 24 cents per capita.
.24/13555 = 0.0018% of per capita income.
U.S. comes off looking better there. Of course, it's still a drop in the bucket in either case.
