"Some 26 countries have have been involved since the plane disappeared, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, China, the US, South Korea, Japan, the UAE and the UK.
Australia's HMAS Surprise is currently the only ship in the southern search area, although ten Chinese ships and six Malaysian vessels, with three ship-borne helicopters, are en route and expected to arrive from 25 March.
In addition to the Australian and Chinese aircraft operating from Perth a further 3 planes - 2 from Japan and one from the United Arab Emirates - have been sent to assist.
The US and UK are also contributing resources."
The International response and International cooperation has been an inspiration in the progress of the search so far.
