Humanitarian activists are working to deliver much-needed aid to Cuba, with over 20 tons of food, medicine, solar panels and other supplies set to sail from Progreso, Mexico to Havana. However, this effort has been met with criticism from South Florida's Cuban exile community, who believe it is organized by Castro sympathizers. Ramón Saúl Sánchez, president of Movimiento Democracia, is urging the Trump administration to allow Cuban exiles to return in their own flotilla to deliver supplies that they know will go into the right hands of the Cuban people. The humanitarian crisis in Cuba is being exacerbated by tightened sanctions by the U.S. and a blockade of oil.
