Yesterday, the shipment began its journey to the Caribbean nation with the loading of a container on the outskirts of Ghent. Members of the Belgian project, led by Reinaldo Romero, and representatives of other organizations participated, including Cubans residing in France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

The new shipment includes oxygen masks and other surgical supplies, medicines, hospital furniture, wheelchairs, and bicycles.

Romero specified that the aid is destined for the province of Santiago de Cuba and the municipality of Jiguani in Granma province, in eastern Cuba. He also expressed his gratitude for the support received in making the initiative a reality, noting that this was the 60th container for the Belgian solidarity association Friends of Cuba, one of the organizations supporting the humanitarian project. “We are already immersed in preparations for another container, with the expectation of sending it this year. We have secured medical equipment, resuscitation kits, and other essential health supplies,” he emphasized to Prensa Latina.
