According to Beasley, these WFP actions complement the efforts of the Cuban government to ensure a supply of food to those affected by the hurricane.
Meanwhile, Luis Macareno, second chief of Cuba's Civil Defense bureau, thanked the WFP for this donation.
"The United Nations system in Cuba has always been closely linked to what the Cuban state is doing and this is a demonstration of this. In difficult times, they have been supporting the Cuban people in need," he said.
Beasley has met with First Vice President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, to discuss this food assistance operation as well as the availability of additional financial resources for the immediate acquisition of food.
Irma arrived in Cuba last week as a category 5 hurricane. During its rampage across the northern coast, it left 10 dead, 1.7 million people evacuated, brought heavy floods and serious damage to tourism infrastructure, agriculture and housing.
