🇨🇺 Antibiotics, insulin, asthma inhalers, and even basic painkillers are now scarce or unavailable in Cuba, a U.S.-based humanitarian group warned, as the U.S. government continues to “punish Cuba” and “strangle the Cuban economy.”

Bob Schwartz, head of Global Health Partners, told CNN that the country’s health system is now “pretty much on life support,” after years of tightening U.S. sanctions.

The group has sent more than $275 million in medical aid to Cuba over three decades, but Schwartz said shortages have worsened dramatically in recent months.

He pointed to extreme gaps in care, including a three-year waiting list for pacemakers. “You don’t last three years,” he said.

Schwartz said sanctions and Cuba’s terrorism designation block access to global banking systems, making it “almost impossible” to import medical supplies. He added that with commercial routes cut off, aid often has to be flown in by charter or shipped through limited cargo channels.

He called the embargo “immoral” and warned it is “killing people,” adding humanitarian aid alone cannot sustain the system long term.

Trump’s new executive order is a reckless escalation of failed U.S. foreign policy toward Cuba.

[Claire Valdez @claireforny]

This Executive Order is not a national security measure.

It is an escalation of economic terrorism intended to starve Cuban people and deepen a humanitarian crisis that the U.S. itself has manufactured through more than six decades of blockade.

HANDS OFF CUBA. HANDS OFF LATIN AMERICA.

Marco Rubio: ¡Explícale que tu política de "cero petróleo para Cuba" afectará sólo "al régimen"!

Couldn’t agree more - @FedExHelp is a joke!

[Bob Schwartz @GHPart]

Props to @FedEx @FedExHelp for worst customer service by a global company! Two days, eight different reps, horrible connections, and a circular conversation with no resolution of a simple ask. It's embarrassing @Fedex!

We deep sorrow we say goodbye to Wayne S. Smith, who passed away yesterday. He was the first Chief of the US Interest Section in #Cuba. Most of his life he worked for respectful and better relations between our two nations. Sincere condolences to his daughter and relatives.🖤

🌹🇨🇺 Following our recent delegation to Cuba, please join our organizers for our national report back on 11/15 7pm-8:30pm CT. https://t.co/0pEYz08wG6

[Lianys Torres Rivera @lianystr]

According to @JuantonioFdez, 33 countries have spoken at the UN General Assembly against the unjust blockade of the US against #Cuba.

Tomorrow, together with 20 more countries, our nation will speak and propose a vote to end this cruel policy.

@TomWojcik Very proud to have been a part of this historic #DSA initiative! It’s time to end the embargo and take #Cuba off of the terrorist list!

[DSA @DemSocialists]

This week, DSA sent a multi-tendency delegation of forty-four organizers (including six members of our NPC) to Havana. This fact-finding delegation represented various national working groups, national and local leadership, elected officials, and rank and file membership. 1/7

@marxistgirl__ I’ve got to think about this one…

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

President Biden: Stop maintaining Trump’s failed Cuba policies. Stop hurting everyday people in Cuba with Cold War tactics that further encourage migration to our southern border. Remove Cuba from the SST list—now!

This is a template for how US-Cuba collaborations can work!

[Lianys Torres Rivera @lianystr]

🚨The Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology has just signed Memorandum of Understanding with the Massey Cancer Center, from Virginia Commonwealth University.

This is another example of how #Cuba and the US can advance in matters of mutual interest.

EEUU es responsable del 42% de las sanciones unilaterales impuestas a nivel global desde 1950.

En un mundo que atraviesa una profunda crisis multidimensional, no debería existir lugar para las medidas coercitivas abusivas de EEUU que provocan sufrimiento a millones de personas.
