US EditionFirst International Aid Convoy Arrives in Crisis-Hit Cuba
Mexico joined an international convoy delivering 1,200 metric tons of aid to Cuba, countering the U.S. blockade that worsened the island's economic crisis.
- On Thursday, Mexican vessels prepared to set off carrying food, medical supplies, and solar panels from Progreso, Yucatán, and Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo, en route to Havana, Cuba, scheduled to arrive March 21.
- Facing a deepening crisis, Cuba prompted the convoy amid its worst economic crisis in three decades, worsened by the United States capture of Nicolás Maduro and Venezuela cutting off oil supplies.
- Organizers say the operation combines air and sea deliveries, planning 20 tons of aid while a European delegation arrived overnight with five tons of supplies.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum backed Mexico’s aid effort, made a donation, and defended humanitarian ties to Cuba, while U.S. President Donald Trump threatened retaliation, heightening tensions.
- The mission has shifted into a global convoy coordinated by air, sea and land, with organizers warning 'There is no time to lose,' as the first shipment arrived in Havana on Wednesday.
