The United States is working with the Catholic Church to deliver $3 million in humanitarian aid to residents of eastern Cuba affected by Hurricane Melissa. According to the U.S. government, this support is intended for those most impacted by the storm's destruction.
"Our prayers are with the brave Cuban people," a statement from U.S. officials said.
This initiative comes as part of ongoing efforts by the United States to provide relief in response to natural disasters in the region.
