Cuba has received a shipment of humanitarian aid from the Nuestra America Convoy, an international effort organised by global activists seeking to circumvent US sanctions that restrict shipments of fuel and other goods to the island. The aid arrived on a small ship that departed last week from the port of Progreso in Mexico and entered Havana harbour early on Tuesday, delivering 14 tonnes of food, medicine, solar panels and bicycles to Cuban authorities. It was one of three ships in a flotilla to depart from Progreso, with two more expected to arrive later.
