One of the largest online platforms used by Cubans abroad to send goods to relatives on the island has suspended operations, raising new questions about the future of a key supply channel as Cuba faces a deepening economic crisis and growing pressure on businesses linked to the country's military-controlled economy.

EnviosCuba announced Sunday that it could no longer continue providing services "for reasons beyond our control." The company did not specify whether the suspension is temporary or permanent, nor did it explain what prompted the decision. It did however say orders already approved or in process would still be delivered and that customer support would remain available to address pending claims.
