The Cuban ambassador to El Salvador, Tom\u00e1s Lorenzo, has reported that Salvadoran groups delivered aid and medical supplies to the Cuban people, who have been affected by the energy and supply crisis generated by the oil blockade imposed by the United States government, led by Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He detailed that members of the solidarity group Operation Miracle in El Salvador, along with members of the Friends of Camp 26 de Julio group, the Cuban Chapter, and the Salvadoran Solidarity Movement, delivered the second suitcase of aid for the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey delivered the second suitcase of solidarity with intraocular lenses for cataract surgeries in our country. Thanks to our Salvadoran friends,\u201d the Cuban official expressed on his Facebook account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Popular Rebellion and Resistance Bloc (BRP) launched a campaign in El Salvador to send aid to the Cuban people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday Cuba needs us, and from El Salvador we respond with solidarity\u201d to the urgent situation on the island, said the coalition of organizations, calling on the population to donate medicines and medical supplies, light bulbs, solar lamps, batteries, personal hygiene products, medical supplies, and non-perishable food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The energy blockade, intensified by President Donald Trump\u2019s executive orders, is generating an energy crisis that has halted some economic activity on the island and severely impacted health, education, water, and other basic services due to fuel shortages for the productive sector, energy production, and transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aid from Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On February 12, two Mexican Navy ships arrived at the port of Havana with a combined cargo of more than 800 tons of food and other products intended to alleviate the supply situation on the Caribbean island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ships, identified as the Papaloapan and the Isla Holbox, transported 536 tons of essential foodstuffs such as vegetable oil, rice, beans, meat, and hygiene products, and more than 277 tons of powdered milk, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
