Reply #56: first I've heard of it. and you forgot the US $5 million aid offer

[Bacchus39]

the offer that Cuba has rejected. but with all those other countries helping out, I guess the US offer is no longer necessary.

"The United States on Saturday "informed the Cuban government that the U.S. government is committed to providing up to $5 million in relief assistance to Cuban hurricane victims and that we could fly emergency relief supplies to Cuba as soon as the Cuban government authorized such assistance," McCormack said at his daily briefing."
