MEXICO City – Mexico will send two navy ships loaded with food and medical supplies to Cuba, the foreign ministry said on Thursday, after President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador blamed the United States embargo for fomenting the biggest unrest in Cuba in decades.
The ships will leave the port of Veracruz in the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, taking syringes, oxygen tanks and masks along with powdered milk, cans of tuna, beans, flour, cooking oil, and gasoline.
The shipments exemplify Mexico’s policy of “international solidarity” and it will keep offering humanitarian aid to help Latin American and Caribbean countries tackle the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the foreign ministry said in a statement.(Reuters)
