Two Mexican ships carrying urgent humanitarian aid arrived in Havana's port on Thursday, as the United Nations warns of a humanitarian collapse on the island due to the Trump administration's oil blockade. Infant mortality is rising in Cuba as the United States tightens its decades-old economic embargo on the country, part of Trump's efforts to overthrow the Cuban government.
On Thursday, February 13, 2026, two Mexican ships docked in Havana's port carrying essential humanitarian aid for Cuba. This delivery comes at a critical juncture, according to the United Nations, which has warned of a humanitarian collapse on the island due to the oil blockade imposed by President Donald Trump's administration.
The situation worsens with the tightening of the decades-old US economic embargo, which sources say aims to overthrow the Cuban government. As a direct result, infant mortality has risen in the country, intensifying hardships for the population.
Mexico's aid shipment symbolizes international solidarity amid external pressures. Havana Times will provide more details on Cuba's situation later in its broadcast, featuring Cuba's Ambassador to the UN, Ernesto Soberón Guzmán.
