US solidarity effort for health to Cuba
especiales

The first shipment of medical supplies worth nearly 200,000 dollars and more than 500,000 painkillers collected by solidarity efforts in the United States was bound for Cuba on Friday.
The operation was confirmed by the Los Angeles-based Hands Off Cuba Committee, which coordinated the aid together with Global Health Partners, Not Just Tourists and Uriel Ramírez, a doctor who graduated from the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana.
The painkiller campaign for Cuba was also joined by Bridges of Love, according to a statement from the Los Angeles committee sent to Prensa Latina that anticipated that the initiative will continue as part of the actions against the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on Cuba for more than six decades.
The collection of the solidarity contribution was combined with informational meetings and the establishment of new Hands Off Cuba committees in San Antonio, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
These committees will also be represented in the delegation of Labor and Youth Activists that will travel to Cuba for the celebrations of International Workers’ Day in May.
On January 20, in one of his first measures after taking office, US President Donald Trump reversed the order that only six days earlier had been issued by then outgoing President Joe Biden, who at the end of his term decided to remove Cuba from the arbitrary list of countries that alledgedly sponsor terrorism.
