The UN supports the Island with the shipment of 144 metric tons of milk powder per month
14ymedio, Havana, 30 May 2024 — The Congress of Spain approved, on Monday, an initiative presented by the Sumar coalition, made up of 20 left-wing political parties, to “contribute to overcoming the shortage of milk destined for children in Cuba.” The proposal, which was approved with 33 votes in favor and three abstentions, aims to “allocate funds” through the Spanish Agency for Development Cooperation (AECID) to be able to ship milk to Cuba and also includes the creation of groups for the supply of “basic necessities” on the Island.
In defense of the initiative presented by Sumar, the deputy of the Socialist Party, Alba Soldevilla Novials, recalled that last January the Government of Cuba requested “urgent aid” from the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) to “facilitate the shipment of powdered milk” to the Island. The response was quick and “the WFP has begun to send a kilogram of milk powder for Cuban children under seven years of age” in Pinar del Río and Havana.
