Deadly flooding in Colombia and Venezuela

Parts of Venezuela and Colombia are suffering after heavy rains caused severe flooding in many areas. What I wonder is, will the international community bother responding to this crisis? After the showing in Southeast Asia, isn't it only fair that other crises throughout the world get the same treatment? I don't think there will be much media hype over this situation unfortunately.

I also wonder if this situation will help bring the two countries back together through coordinated relief efforts, etc. especially after the kidnapping debacle that drove the two apart earlier this year.
