"The Nuestra America Convoy said that the sailboats were led by experienced sailors with access to safety equipment. Nine people were on board the two vessels, which departed from Isla Mujeres in Mexico on March 20."
"Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel expressed concern regarding the fate of the boats, stating, 'We express our particular concern regarding the two Mexican vessels transporting solidarity aid to #Cuba as part of the #ConvoyNuestraAmerica.'"
"The convoy comes in response to worsening humanitarian conditions in Cuba, which has largely been cut off from foreign oil supplies since January, following US actions against Venezuela."
The Nuestra America Convoy's sailboats, carrying nine people, went missing during a humanitarian mission to Cuba. The vessels departed from Isla Mujeres, Mexico, on March 20, and were expected to arrive shortly after. Mexican and US authorities are conducting search operations, with Cuba expressing significant concern for the missing boats. The convoy aims to address the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, exacerbated by US sanctions that have restricted essential supplies. The US Coast Guard is prepared to assist in the search if needed.
