The U.S. oil blockade on Cuba is characterized as economic warfare aimed at suffocating the country, leading to severe humanitarian issues. Rep. Ilhan Omar emphasized the blockade's impact, stating it disrupts food, water, and healthcare services. The Nuestra América humanitarian aid convoy, consisting of around 650 activists, arrived in Cuba to provide essential supplies like solar panels, food, and medicine. This convoy aims to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe caused by the U.S. embargo, which has been in place since the 1960s and restricts trade and commerce.
