WASHINGTON, USA (UPI): The US State Department announced Wednesday an additional $100 million in hurricane-recovery aid for nations in the Caribbean hit by deadly weather. Grenada, Haiti and Jamaica, the primary beneficiaries, will get $42 million, $38 million and $18 million, in that order, department spokesman Richard Boucher said. The nations were the hardest hit by summer hurricanes Charlie, Francis, Ivan and Jeanne, killing more than 200 people. Other nations in the region, including the Bahamas, will receive the remaining $2 million, Boucher said. The funds will be used to restore people's livelihoods and rebuild their homes. Including Wednesday's funds, the United States has pledged $119 million on hurricane recovery in the Caribbean; of which $19.4 has already been spent.
