US EditionAid Vessel Arrives in Havana as Cuba’s Economic and Energy Crises Deepen
The convoy brought about 20 tons of aid from 33 countries to assist Cuba amid worsening fuel shortages and blackouts, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the vessel Maguro arrived in Havana carrying humanitarian aid including solar panels, food, and medicine as part of the 'Our America Convoy' to assist Cuba's energy crisis.
- President Donald Trump's energy blockade, imposed in January, has deepened Cuba's crisis; the country endured two nationwide blackouts this past week and three months without diesel, fuel oil, and gasoline supplies.
- The convoy mobilizes more than 650 participants from 33 countries, with 30 people aboard the first ship delivering 50 tonnes of aid to a nation facing severe blackouts and a crumbling power grid.
- Activist Thiago Ávila, disembarking from the boat christened 'Granma 2.0,' called the shipment a 'gesture of solidarity,' as Cuba's state prepares to distribute aid through its local store network.
- Two additional ships are expected to follow the Maguro, while authorities navigate escalating threats from Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stated they were prepared to 'take' the island.
