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.
