U.S. pledges $24 million in aid to Hurricane Melissa-hit nations

The Trump administration has announced a $24 million aid package for countries impacted by Hurricane Melissa. The funding will support housing, clean water, food, sanitation, and emergency health care. Jamaica will receive the largest share, followed by Haiti, Cuba — through the Catholic Church — and the Bahamas. Additional assistance may be provided after on-the-ground assessments are completed in the coming days.
