More Milk to Cuba from US solidarity efforts

Another 2,750 pounds of powdered milk will arrive in Cuba from the United States on Monday as part of the solidarity effort of the organizations Bridges of Love and CodePink.

“Without even resting from yesterday’s Caravan against the blockade, the bridges began to prepare at dawn the entire cargo that goes to mother’s and childrend’s hospitals in Havana and other health centers in Cuba,” activist Carlos Lazo explained.

This is in addition to more than 60,000 pounds of powdered milk that we have sent to pediatric hospitals in all Cuban provinces in the last two years, he recalled.

“And we will keep going forward opening holes in the blockade until the sanctions that punish the Cuban family are lifted,” the Bridges of Love coordinator noted.

Just two weeks ago, both groups sent a similar amount of milk to pediatric hospitals in Artemisa, Mayabeque and a special education school in Havana.
