The United States provides or obligates $3 million in disaster relief funds intended for Cuban people affected by Hurricane Melissa.
Multiple official and independent sources confirm that the United States has committed and begun delivering $3 million in disaster/humanitarian assistance to people in Cuba affected by Hurricane Melissa. A January 14, 2026 fact sheet from the U.S. Department of State explicitly states that the Trump administration is “following through on our commitment to deliver $3 million in much-needed disaster relief to the Cuban people affected by Hurricane Melissa” and details ongoing shipments of aid via flights and a commercial vessel. Earlier reporting from late 2025 also describes the U.S. allocation of $3 million in humanitarian aid for Hurricane Melissa victims in eastern Cuba, coordinated through the Catholic Church rather than the Cuban government, consistent with the later State Department release. Taken together, the evidence shows that the U.S. government is indeed providing $3 million in disaster relief to Cubans impacted by Hurricane Melissa. The verdict is True because primary U.S. government documentation and corroborating reports directly support the claim.
