For the first time in 50 years, Havana Bay has received a shipment of humanitarian aid from Miami in the United States.
The Ana Cecilia sailed into the Cuban harbour shortly after
11:00 GMT or 7am local time on Friday, carrying family goods, food,
medicine and clothing, as well as medical equipment such as orthopedic
mattresses and electric wheelchairs.
Shipper International Port Corp. hopes to make this a weekly service
between the US and Cuba, who have been at ideological odds for years,
with a ship leaving Miami every Wednesday for the 16-hour trip to
Havana.
The US had imposed a trade embargo on the Communist-run island since
1962, but International Port Corp. says it has been granted a special
permit from the US to begin trading.
"This is so wonderful," said company spokesman Leonardo
Sanchez-Adega, after the ship finally docked following a delay of
several hours due to an error in customs paperwork submitted to the
Cuban authorities.
There has been no official response from Cuba, however, the Cuban
community in Florida, were "positive" about the shipments, according to
International Port Corp.
Initiative welcomed

The pressure of an all-powerful totalitarian state creates an emotional tension in its citizens that determines their acts. When people are divided into "loyalists" and "criminals" a premium is placed on every type of conformist, coward, and hireling; whereas among the "criminals" one finds a singularly high percentage of people who are direct, sincere, and true to themselves-Czesław Miłosz
