Trinidad and To­ba­go will pro­vide hu­man­i­tar­i­an aid to Cu­ba but will do so in­de­pen­dent­ly rather than as part of Cari­com’s co­or­di­nat­ed re­lief ef­fort.

For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs Min­is­ter Sean Sobers told Guardian Me­dia that when this coun­try sent re­lief items to Ja­maica in the af­ter­math of the de­struc­tive Hur­ri­cane Melis­sa, it al­so formed a re­la­tion­ship with rep­utable non-gov­ern­men­tal or­gan­i­sa­tions in Cu­ba.

Sobers said T&T will there­fore deal di­rect­ly with those NGOs.
