Through letters addressed to the Prime Ministers of the affected countries, CAF's Executive President, Sergio Díaz-Granados, expressed the Institution's solidarity with those affected by the devastating impact of Hurricane Beryl and announced the immediate delivery of donations intended for humanitarian aid as well as emergency assistance to affected communities.

The donations were distributed as follows: 

• USD $250,000 for Jamaica;
• USD $250,000 for Barbados
• USD $100,000 for Grenada
• USD $100,000 for Saint Lucia;
• USD $100,000 for St Vincent and the Grenadines

“I wish to express our deepest solidarity with the peoples of Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines. We recognise the swift actions taken by those governments to support the communities that felt the full brunt of Hurricane Beryl and we commend the citizens for their resilience in the face of adversity. We believe that by working together, CAF can help to bolster the recovery efforts of the governments and their respective populations,” stated Díaz-Granados.

With these donations, CAF hopes to contribute to the humanitarian assistance needed during a critical period in the immediate aftermath of a very powerful and destructive hurricane.  The grant will serve to address this emergency through the designated Ministries and official governmental channels in the five Caribbean countries.
