Italy denounces US actions to stifle the Cuban people

Rome, Jul 24 (Prensa Latina) "Cuba, three ships, three ports, and three humanitarian shipments blocked: the island is stifling," headlines La Repubblica newspaper in an analysis of the situation that nation is currently facing due to increased pressure from the United States.

The article states that, in a matter of days, the US government has thus disrupted the arrival of essential supplies to the island, including shipments of milk for children, as well as ventilators, beds, medicines, and millions of medical devices destined for Cuban hospitals.

Giorgia Vernetti, spokesperson for the Let Cuba Breathe campaign, stated in an interview with that news outlet, “We’re talking about goods that sustain the population’s livelihood, now on the verge of running out.”

The article specifies that “these are not isolated incidents: it is a new expression of US President Donald Trump’s desire to stifle the Cuban civilian population,” referring to the tightening of the criminal economic, commercial, and financial blockade, a violation of human rights.

The current actions, according to the text, “result in threats to sever all commercial relations with shipping companies operating on the island, paralyzing all supply channels progressively,” and particularly refer to the shipment of powdered milk, donated by European solidarity activists, which has been blocked since July 13.
