The Mexican government sent food and basic necessities to Cuba on two ships belonging to the navy. This was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Latin American country.
"Humanitarian aid is being sent to the Republic of Cuba through the logistics ships Papaloapan and Isla Holbox, which are transporting more than 814 tons of food for the civilian population," said the message published on the website of the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As specified, both ships left the port of Veracruz on February 8.
The Papaloapan is carrying about 536 tons of food and basic necessities, including liquid milk, meat products, rice, beans, cookies, canned tuna and sardines, vegetable oil, and personal hygiene products. The aid to Cuba is being ordered by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and reflects "the humanist principles and tradition of solidarity of the Mexican people."
