VisitKamala Harris Announces $750 Aid for Hurricane Helene Victims Amid FEMA Funding Shortfall
Oct 3, 2024, 01:14 AM
Vice President Kamala Harris has announced that FEMA will provide $750 to each household affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and Georgia. This announcement comes amid criticism that the Biden-Harris administration has allocated significant funds to other causes, including $570 billion in additional aid to Ukraine and over $1 billion on housing and services for illegal immigrants. Critics argue that these allocations have left FEMA with insufficient funds to adequately support American disaster victims. FEMA officials have confirmed that the agency is running low on funds, raising concerns about its ability to respond to future emergencies this hurricane season.
