Cuba Accepts $100 Million US Humanitarian Aid to Be Distributed Through Churches

Cuba has accepted $100 million in humanitarian aid from the United States, with Washington stipulating that the assistance must be distributed through religious organizations rather than government channels. The aid package represents a significant development in US-Cuba relations, though American officials acknowledge there is little prospect for a broader peace agreement between the two nations. The decision to channel aid through churches reflects ongoing US concerns about the Cuban government's control over resource distribution and represents an attempt to ensure the assistance reaches ordinary citizens directly.
