A war-torn state and a country ruled by an oppressive military junta for decades are home to the world's most generous people. According to this year's Charities Aid Foundation World Giving Index, people in Iraq are the kindest to strangers, while Myanmar's residents give the most away.<br/><br/>In the last month, eight in 10 Iraqis have helped someone they do not know, with Libyans helping almost as many. During the same period, 91 per cent of those in Myanmar have given money to charity. The annual ranking places Myanmar at the top of the list for the third year in a row, with more than half the population donating time and 63 per cent helping a stranger. China is named as the least generous country.
