HAVANA (AP):
A ship laden with humanitarian aid from the governments of Mexico and Uruguay arrived yesterday in Havana to help ease Cuba’s spiralling crises.
The ship, which departed from a Mexican port, includes personal hygiene items and 1,700 tonnes of grains, powdered milk and other food items, according to a statement published by Cuban state media.
Cuba’s food industry minister, Alberto López Díaz, said the items arrive “at a time of great economic hardship, exacerbated by the tightening of the blockade imposed on our country by the United States government.”
