Jul 22, 2026

Washington [US], July 22: The United States said on Tuesday, July 21, it was sending the first part of a $100 million aid package to Cuba, as the island suffers a deep economic crisis under pressure from Washington.
A plane carrying "pre-packaged food and hygiene kits for up to 700 Cuban families" was to depart from Miami, the State Department said in a statement.
The aid will be delivered directly by the Catholic church, the statement added.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio proposed the $100 million package in May.
