The Andorran government has approved €30,000 in voluntary humanitarian contributions for Cuba and Jamaica to support reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Melissa's impact on Caribbean island nations late last October.
Each country will receive €15,000, channeled through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The hurricane caused severe structural damage, especially in Jamaica, where powerful gusts tore off building roofs and disrupted electrical distribution networks.
The funds will primarily finance the purchase of materials needed for rebuilding essential infrastructure and homes in the most affected zones. This initiative underscores Andorra's commitment to international solidarity, human rights, emergency aid, and environmental protection, according to government statements.
