Canada Pledges Food, Mexico Dispatches More Humanitarian Aid

Written By Justin Jimenez

Canada announced Wednesday it will provide 8 million Canadian dollars (around US$6.7 million) in food assistance to Cuba. The aid will be routed through UN agencies.

Mexico sent over 1,000 tons of food and powdered milk to Cuba on Wednesday via two naval vessels. The shipments, which go directly to the Cuban state, are expected to arrive today. Mexico already sent more than 800 tons of food, powdered milk and personal hygiene products earlier this month.
