Amid a U.S.-imposed #oil #blockade on Cuba that has caused widespread fuel shortages, yesterday thousands of students and workers took over #Havana's #Malecón in a pro-government rally on bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards and electric vehicles.

The gathering celebrated the anniversaries of two Cuban youth organizations.

“This march is a demonstration that we are standing firm,” said one student.

In the face of #Trump's #oil #blockade on Cuba, a group of #solidarity activists from Puerto Rico arrived in #Havana last Saturday to deliver medicine and medical equipment to the Salvador Allende Hospital, known as "La Covadonga," in the Cerro municipality.

Part of the #NuestraAméricaConvoy, the #PuertoRican solidarity groups included the Committee for Solidarity with Cuba and the Juan Rius Rivera Brigade.

The convoy's arrival was "a ray of light in the middle of the darkness," said Dr. Mylene Vázquez, director of the #hospital.

"Cuba and #PuertoRico are two wings of the same bird," said Sebastián Castro, from Committee for Solidarity with Cuba.
