»  Comments | Post a Comment

LA PALMA, Cuba -- The United States has offered Cuba $100,000 in emergency aid for the victims of Hurricane Gustav and is willing to send far more if a U.S.-approved disaster-assessment team is allowed to tour the hardest-hit areas.

All aid would be provided through international relief organizations, with none going directly to the government, said Gregory Adams, a spokesman for the U.S. Interests Section in the Cuban capital.

The Cuban government has not commented on the offer.
