St. Vincent and the Grenadines sends aid to Cuba amid US embargo

The government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is dispatching ten containers of flour to Cuba.
 
Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves said on Wednesday that the unlawful US embargo is negatively affecting the Cuban population.
 
Dr. Gonsalves said the shipment was valued at EC$700,000.
 
In 2023, Reuters reported that Cuban families are producing gluten-free flour using yucca, coconut, and banana.
 
Dr. Gonsalves says during the recent CARICOM heads of government summit in Guyana, he requested various CARICOM leaders to support Cuba.
 
He said Guyana is sending rice and other supplies, while Barbados is sending powdered milk to Cuba.
