The USA has allocated $24 million to hurricane victims: which countries will receive assistance

According to inkorr.com: The United States has announced the allocation of $24 million in aid to Jamaica, Haiti, the Bahamas, and Cuba following Hurricane 'Melissa' of category five, which claimed the lives of at least 50 people. The US State Department has already dispatched teams to coordinate humanitarian assistance, and new support packages are expected in the coming days.

Assistance to Cuba

Additionally, $3 million will be directed to help Cuba through the Catholic Church, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statement on the humanitarian need on the island.

The State Department continues to cooperate with international partners to provide assistance to affected regions in the Caribbean. Hurricane 'Melissa' has become the most powerful hurricane in this region in recent years, causing widespread destruction and serious consequences for residents and infrastructure.

Interestingly, despite the allocated $24 million in aid, the most affected Caribbean countries are facing significant challenges in the recovery process after Hurricane 'Melissa.'

In the face of such catastrophic consequences, it is crucial not only to quickly provide humanitarian aid but also to plan long-term recovery programs. This will enable regions affected by the hurricane to return to normal life and modernize their infrastructure, which often requires significant efforts and investments.
