Humanitarian aid shipments arrive in Cuba

Humanitarian aid shipments have arrived in Cuba to support vulnerable populations through various international channels.

In Cienfuegos, a shipment from the United States arrived via Santa Clara's Abel Santamaría International Airport. Coordinated by Cáritas Cuba, the aid includes 700 food kits containing rice, beans, oil, sugar, sardines, and tuna, alongside 700 hygiene modules with soap, toothpaste, and sanitary products. Distribution in the Lajas municipality will prioritize elderly citizens, people with disabilities, pregnant women, and children under five. The shipment also includes water purification tablets and rechargeable lamps.

Additionally, Carmen Diniz of the Comité Carioca de Solidaridad con Cuba delivered medical supplies and medicines to the Hospital Clínico Universitario Manuel Fajardo in Havana. These donations, organized through community activities in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aim to provide essential medical consumables such as serums, needles, and other clinical supplies to support patients in need.
