Hundreds of boxes of humanitarian aid from the U.S. are being distributed in two towns near Havana, Cuba, by the Catholic Church organization Caritas. The aid, which includes food and hygiene kits, arrived this week and is being given to vulnerable families in Bejucal and Alquízar. This effort is part of a $60 million program, with a total of $100 million planned for future distribution. The aid comes amid political tensions between the U.S. and Cuba, worsened by an energy embargo imposed by former President Trump. The U.S. State Department has expressed concerns about the Cuban government’s handling of aid.
