Spain to send humanitarian aid to Cuba through UN

MADRID: Spain said Monday it will use UN channels to send humanitarian aid to Cuba, which is suffering an acute economic crisis worsened by a de facto US fuel blockade. “Spain will provide humanitarian aid ... to Cuba through the United Nations system in the form of food and essential health products,” the foreign ministry said in a statement following a meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries in Madrid. The announcement follows the dispatch by Mexico of 800 tons of humanitarian aid to Cuba, which arrived on two Mexican navy ships late last week.
