MIAMI, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- U.S. negotiators in Miami have agreed to pay $25 million for humanitarian aid to Hungarian Jews around the world, but individual damages won't be paid.
The survivors had sued for the loss of their valuables when they were seized by U.S. military from the Nazis' Gold Train at the end of World War II.
The Miami Herald reported Wednesday sources said the agreement will cover such services as healthcare for Hungarian Jews living in Hungary, the United States, Canada, Israel and other countries.
Representatives of the government and the Jews are working on details of the settlement, which was reached Monday.
The final resolution is due to be presented to U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz by Feb. 18.
Neither side would comment to the media.
The suit originally sought $10,000 each in cash for 30,000 to 50,000 Hungarian Jews or their survivors but under the agreement they won't get the payouts.
