The U.S. announced that it will give Cuba an additional $6 million in aid after Hurricane Melissa hit the eastern region of the island late last year.

The aid is mostly intended for those living in the area affected by the hurricane, and the supplies include rice, beans, pasta, cans of tuna, and solar lamps that will be delivered by the Catholic Church and Caritas, according to U.S. Department of State Senior Official Jeremy Lewin on Thursday, The Associated Press reported.

Lewin said that U.S. embassy officials in Cuba will be out in the field “making sure that the regime does not take the assistance, divert it, try to politicize it.”

The U.S. previously sent $3 million in disaster relief to people affected by the hurricane in Cuba.

Lewin said that Cuba has “hoarded all of the resources for the few senile old men that run the country, for their henchmen, for the security apparatus” for years, and accused the island of “meddling abroad,” including “colonizing Venezuela.”

“Why can’t they get food? It’s not because we’re not letting illicit Venezuelan oil continue to make Raúl Castro rich,” Lewin added, referring to the former Cuban president. “It’s because the government can’t put food on the shelves. They have billions of dollars, but they don’t use it to buy food for ordinary Cubans.”

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said earlier Thursday during a press conference that there is a “psychological war” against Cuba, as he described President Trump recently threatening to impose tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to Cuba as “an energy blockade.” The island is currently experiencing severe blackouts.

Díaz-Canel said that Cuba has not received oil shipments since the U.S. started its “naval blockade” on Venezuela in December.

“Therefore, we have problems with fuel availability to guarantee not only electric generation, but also basic activities,” he said.

Lewin said there might be more announcements of aid from the U.S. if the Cuban government comes to its senses and is willing to allow it.

“They should be focused on providing for their people, not making these blustery statements,” Lewin said. “He can talk a big game, but again, any government, its first responsibility is always to provide for its people.”

Díaz-Canel also said that his government is open to talk with the U.S. under certain conditions, including respect for Cuba’s sovereignty and “without addressing sensitive issues that could be perceived as interference in our internal affairs.”
