A ship carrying humanitarian aid from Mexico and Uruguay has arrived in Havana to help ease Cuba’s crises. The ship, which left from Mexico, includes food and personal hygiene items, according to a government statement. Cuba’s food industry minister says the aid arrives during a time of great economic hardship, worsened by the U.S. blockade. The aid will prioritize children, the elderly, and vulnerable families. Cuba’s economic and electric crises have deepened this year after the U.S. invaded Venezuela in January, halting critical oil shipments. A severe gas shortage and widespread blackouts continue across the island.
