Belarus Delivers 30 Tons of Powdered Milk and Medications to Cuban Children's Hospitals Amid Healthcare Crisis
The regime of Alexandr Lukashenko in Belarus has delivered 30 tons of powdered milk and nearly four tons of medications to children's hospitals in Havana, Cuba. The supplies were specifically intended for the William Soler University Pediatric Hospital and the Pediatric Cardiocenter. Belarusian ambassador Vitali Barchuk presided over the handover ceremony on November 5, stating that Belarus could not remain indifferent to Cuba's difficult situation. The First Deputy Minister of Public Health, Tania Margarita Cruz, received the shipment, expressing gratitude and describing it as a 'symbol of humanity' during the country's severe healthcare crisis. Cruz also used the opportunity to criticize the economic embargo imposed by the United States on Cuba, highlighting its impact on medication preservation and surgical procedures due to fuel crisis-induced blackouts. This delivery is part of ongoing humanitarian aid efforts from Minsk to Cuba since 2025, which have focused on basic food and medical supplies.
