The condemnation of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States government was emphasized in a statement released by Cubainformacion.

The text stated, “A policy described as criminal and genocidal for its effects on the life and health of the Cuban people (…), maintained for more than six decades and rejected almost unanimously by the international community at the United Nations (…).”

They added that the blockade prevents Cuba from freely accessing medicines, equipment, and medical supplies, making each syringe and needle sent an act of resistance and brotherhood between the two peoples.

The source pointed out that the containers departing for Cuba carry not only humanitarian aid; they also convey a clear message that international solidarity is stronger than even the cruelest blockade.

Medicuba Spain and Sodepaz are continuing a campaign to collect donations for Cuba, particularly focused on the eastern regions of the island damaged by Hurricane Melissa.
