#CubanAmericans, #US activists, and organizations like #CodePink are going to Cuba together for a shared mission: bring humanitarian aid to the island and support the people amid a devastating US #oil #blockade.

As part of the #NuestraAméricaConvoy, participants are traveling with medical supplies and essential goods, while also calling for the #Trump administration to end its siege on Cuba.

For years, Cuba has suffered the consequences of the US economic war, a policy that restricts trade and access to basic goods. In recent years, inflation, mass migration and widespread shortages have further worsened the situation on the island.

“We are sailing to #Cuba, bringing critical humanitarian aid for its people,” the flotilla organizers said on their website. “The #Trump administration is strangling the island, cutting off fuel, flights, and critical supplies for survival. The consequences are lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick.”
