Mexico City, February 9, 2026 – The Europe Today: The government of Mexico on Sunday deployed two navy vessels carrying more than 800 tons of food supplies to Cuba as part of a humanitarian assistance effort, according to a statement from the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs.
The statement said the ships departed from the eastern port of Veracruz and are expected to reach Cuba within four days, according to media reports citing foreign sources. One vessel is transporting basic food items along with personal hygiene products, while the other is carrying a shipment of powdered milk.
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Friday that her administration would provide humanitarian assistance to Cuba, including food and other essential supplies, in response to ongoing shortages on the island.
Sheinbaum also said the Mexican government is working “to resume oil shipments to Cuba,” after Mexico suspended deliveries of crude oil and refined petroleum products in mid-January. The move signals a renewed effort by Mexico to support Cuba through both humanitarian aid and energy cooperation.
