The Government of Mexico reaffirmed its commitment to solidarity with the peoples of Latin America by sending more than 814 tons of humanitarian aid to the Republic of Cuba, in support of its civilian population.
The operation is being carried out through the Secretariat of the Navy (Semar), via the Mexican Navy, in compliance with the instructions of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
The aid departed today from the port of Veracruz aboard the Logistics Support Ships Papaloapan and Isla Holbox, which are transporting basic food items and hygiene products intended to address priority needs on the island.
The Papaloapan ship is carrying approximately 536 tons of products, including liquid milk, meat products, cookies, beans, rice, canned tuna in water, sardines, vegetable oil, and personal hygiene items, considered essential for the civilian population.
Humanitarian bridge reinforced; More tons of aid remain to be sent.
The Isla Holbox ship is carrying more than 277 tons of powdered milk, destined to bolster food supplies in Cuba. The Mexican Navy (Semar) reported that the Papaloapan set sail from the port of Veracruz at 8:00 a.m., while the Isla Holbox departed at noon that same day.
Federal authorities specified that more than 1,500 additional tons of powdered milk and beans are still pending shipment, which will be added to the humanitarian aid shipments later.
In recent months, Mexico has provided support to various countries in the Americas facing fires, floods, and natural disasters, including emergencies in California, Chile, and Texas, as part of its commitment to international cooperation.
With this shipment, the Mexican government reaffirms its humanitarian and solidarity principles, as well as the historical ties that unite Mexico and Cuba, sister nations that maintain a relationship of mutual support in situations of emergency and vulnerability.
