U.S. Sends Humanitarian Aid to Cuba Bypassing Government Amid SanctionsPreviousNext

The U.S. sent a humanitarian flight to Cuba carrying food and hygiene kits as part of a $100 million aid package aimed at assisting Cuban citizens directly through Catholic groups, bypassing the Cuban government. This aid comes amid increased U.S. sanctions and an oil embargo targeting Cuba's government and military. Officials emphasized efforts to prevent government interference in aid distribution, reflecting ongoing tensions between Washington and Havana.
