Madrid, Dec. 16.- Donations of medical supplies were ready today to be sent to Cuba from Spain, as part of a solidarity campaign with the victims of Hurricane Rafael.
It is a shipment of 1.3 tons of medical supplies, with an approximate value of 300 thousand euros, which was prepared by the Cuban Embassy in Spain, together with numerous Associations of Solidarity with the Caribbean island.
"Participating in the initiative were the Primero de Febrero Movement, Rincón Cubano Granma, the Association of Solidarity and Cooperation for Development Ernesto Guevara, Medicuba Spain, Workers' Commissions of Madrid, Izquierda Unida, the Communist Party of Spain in Madrid, and Cubans residing in the Iberian country.
The donation will be sent by air soon and will be received by the Ministry of Public Health, and distributed in the western provinces affected by Hurricane Rafael."
According to the organizers, this gesture of solidarity constitutes another example of the ties of friendship that unite the people of Spain and Cuba.
Cubans are grateful for the permanent support they receive from the solidarity movement and political parties, and value “the tireless work they do to overcome the obstacles imposed by the unjust and inhumane blockade of the U.S. government against Cuba.” (Text and photos: PL)
