Mexico sends 5th ship with humanitarian aid to Cuba

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that Mexico is sending a fifth ship with humanitarian aid to Cuba in response to the growing shortages faced by the Cuban people. During her morning press conference, Sheinbaum reiterated Mexico's rejection of the economic, commercial and financial blockade Washington has maintained against Cuba since 1962.

Mexico's humanitarian aid does not include oil, given that Russia has been supplying Cuba with that resource, she said, adding that Mexico focuses on providing other essential items to alleviate the scarcity of basic goods.
