[will get a prompt to sign up for limited-access free account]Thousands of containers filled with food, #medicine and other goods bound for #Cuba have been stranded throughout the #Caribbean since two shipping giants stopped deliveries to avoid tough #US #sanctions, according to diplomats, Cuban officials, merchants and others involved in the imports.
The containers stranded in various ports include humanitarian aid, from #SolarPanels to #medication to colostomy bags. Dozens of containers of aid purchased by different #UN agencies are among them.
US sanctions have also hobbled shipments by air, and forced the #WorldHealthOrganization to scrap planned deliveries of cancer drugs.
