Separately, $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 work with international partners to provide aid to affected areas of the Caribbean. Hurricane 'Melissa' has become the strongest hurricane in the region in recent years, causing widespread destruction and serious consequences for the population and infrastructure.
