"The initiative, spearheaded by the Progressive International, a left-wing transnational organization, and supported by well-known activists such as Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, aims to alleviate the crisis gripping Cubans amid heightened tensions with the Trump Administration, which is demanding a change in the island's leadership."
"The aid, called Let Cuba Breathe, departed from Italy on March 17 as part of the Nuestra America Convoy to Cuba, an international movement that aims to break the economic blockade imposed on the island by Washington."
"The Trump Administration is suffocating the island, cutting off fuel supplies, flights, and essential resources for survival. The consequences of the U.S. blockade are lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick."
A humanitarian aid initiative called 'Let Cuba Breathe' delivered five tons of medical supplies to Havana, organized by the Progressive International and supported by prominent activists including Greta Thunberg. The convoy departed from Italy on March 17 as part of the Nuestra America movement, which aims to challenge the U.S. economic blockade on Cuba. The aid, valued at $573,394, was collected from approximately 700 contributors across various countries. Cuban officials praised the arrival, emphasizing the global solidarity surrounding Cuba's situation. Additional shipments are planned, including one from Mexico scheduled for March 21. The initiative addresses the humanitarian crisis facing Cubans amid heightened tensions with the Trump Administration.
