It is a cargo of 1.3 tons of medical supplies, with a value of approximately 300,000 euros, which was prepared by the Embassy of Cuba in Spain, together with numerous Associations of Solidarity with the Caribbean island.
Also participating in the initiative were the Movimiento Primero de Febrero, Rincón Cubano Granma, Asociación de Solidaridad y Cooperación para el Desarrollo Ernesto Guevara, Medicuba España, Comisiones Obreras de Madrid, Izquierda Unida, Partido Comunista de España de Madrid and Cubans living in the Iberian country.
The donation will soon be sent by air and will be received by the Ministry of Public Health, and distributed in the western provinces affected by Hurricane Rafael.
According to the organizers, this gesture of solidarity is another example of the bonds of friendship that unite the peoples of Spain and Cuba.
Cubans are grateful for the continued support it receives from solidarity movements and political parties, and appreciate “the tireless work they do to overcome the handicaps imposed by the unjust and inhumane blockade of Cuba by the U.S. Government.”
