Members of the non-governmental organization (NGO) Open Arms delivered a shipment of humanitarian aid today to the "Juan Manuel Márquez" Pediatric Hospital in Havana.

The handover ceremony took place in the morning for the humanitarian donations sent the previous day by more than 20 Spanish political organizations, which included solar panels and medical supplies for the Intensive Care Unit.

The institution's director, Araís Consuegra, expressed her gratitude for the gesture on behalf of the hospital staff and the parents of the admitted patients. "They did not only bring energy; they brought human warmth," she emphasized.

Óscar Camps, founder of Open Arms, delivered several messages sent by children from the Spanish region of Galicia to the pediatric patients receiving medical treatment.

In statements to Prensa Latina, Ana Miranda, a Member of the European Parliament representing the Galician Nationalist Bloc, highlighted the support of the European left for Cuba in its struggle against hostility from the United States.

"Despite the position of the right and far-right in the European Parliament, who passed a shameful resolution that lacked the support of many organizations, the European Union can invoke a framework to curb the impact of the U.S. blockade," she stated.

"What Cuba is suffering today is a genocide similar to that of Palestine, and Europe cannot ignore this," Miranda added.

During the visit, members of the NGO toured the hospital to learn firsthand the stories of the children who are victims of Washington's maximum-pressure policies against Havana.
