A ship carrying 1,700 tons of food and basic supplies collected in Mexico and Belize arrived in Havana on Sunday, the latest humanitarian shipment sent to Cuba as the island faces worsening shortages linked to its economic and energy crises.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said the aid was organized with support from the governments of Mexico and Belize, solidarity organizations and Cubans living abroad. "We thank you for the solidarity embrace in such difficult times," Díaz-Canel wrote on X.
