In the face of Trump's oil blockade on Cuba, a group of solidarity activists from Puerto Rico arrived in Havana last Saturday to deliver medicine and medical equipment to the Salvador Allende Hospital, known as "La Covadonga," in the Cerro municipality.

Part of the Nuestra América Convoy, the Puerto Rican solidarity groups included the Committee for Solidarity with Cuba and the Juan Rius Rivera Brigade.

The convoy's arrival was "a ray of light in the middle of the darkness," said Dr. Mylene Vázquez, director of the hospital.

"Cuba and Puerto Rico are two wings of the same bird," said Sebastián Castro, from Committee for Solidarity with Cuba.
