In a recent press conference, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum appealed to the international community to enhance their humanitarian assistance to Cuba following Spain's announcement of sending essential food and sanitary supplies. She emphasized Mexico's ongoing commitment to providing support to the Caribbean nation and recognized the role of grassroots initiatives in this humanitarian effort.

Sheinbaum specifically highlighted a recent citizen-led initiative called 'From Town to Town,' which collected aid in Mexico City's Zócalo. This initiative demonstrates a community response to the needs of the Cuban people and aims to send additional supplies on returning ships. The President assured that the Mexican government will continue its efforts to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid, indicating a strong cooperative spirit between governmental actions and civil society in supporting Cuba.

The call for more countries to join in the humanitarian outreach underlines a growing awareness and response to Cuba's situation as well as a regional solidarity approach. By spotlighting these initiatives, the Mexican government not only showcases its support for Cuba but also encourages a collective international response to humanitarian crises in the region, fostering a collaborative environment for aid distribution.
