A plane carrying over 41 tonnes of humanitarian aid including canned meat, corn flour and sunflower oil from Russia landed in Havana’s José Martí International Airport on Thursday, the TASS news agency reported.
According to the Russian Embassy in Havana, another flight to deliver medicine is expected to arrive today. A little over three weeks ago, Cuba received an earlier donation from Russia of 88.8 tonnes of food, personal protective equipment, and masks.
“The flight landed in Havana’s Jose Marti International Airport,” embassy’s first secretary Leonid Lagunovsky said.
Many nations have shipped humanitarian aid to Cuba during the pandemic to counteract the U.S. blockade/embargo policies to create hunger, suffering and despair in the Cuban people, best described in the Lester Mallory memorandum of April 1960.
