As soon as news reports indicated the degree of damage that the US
has suffered as a result of Hurricane Katrina, the Government of Armenia
immediately offered help in the form of rescuers and medical personnel.
However, it became clear that the immediate need is for financial
resources. Therefore, at its Thursday September 8 Cabinet meeting,
the Government decided to allocate $200,000.00 to the US for relief
efforts.
The funds are being transferred via the Foreign Ministry to a special
Katrina Relief Fund.
The US Embassy in Yerevan expressed its gratitude on behalf of
the US government for the help that the Armenian people are providing.
