14ymedio, Havana, 31 May 2024 — The French association CubaCoop loaded a container this Wednesday with 10.4 tons of powdered milk valued at 40,000 euros destined for the Island to support the feeding of children and vulnerable sectors.
The cargo is expected to arrive at the port of Mariel at the end of June after being shipped from the French port of Le Havre by the association, based in Ivry-sur-Seine, outside Paris.
“It’s done! The first container was loaded on May 29,” said Víctor Fernández, president of CubaCoop in information published on his own website in which an ongoing collection for a new shipment of food assistance is also announced. Of the 70,000 euros needed, the association has already raised 63,000.

This shipment, along with the one sent from Spain by the Alhucema Solidarity Initiatives Association in April, are part of the multiple donations that arrive on the Island in order to alleviate the food crisis caused by the shortage of milk, which forced the regime, in January, to request “urgent help” from the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) to “facilitate the shipment of powdered milk” to the Island.
