Nicosia, Cyprus, April 29, 2026.- With the closure this Wednesday, April 29, of a refrigerated container with humanitarian aid from the Cypriot people, the present solidarity campaign concluded, which has gathered important supplies and medical and food assistance for hospital institutions and for vulnerable segments of the population in the Cuban capital.
Integrated into the facilities of CIM Biomedical Co in Nicosia, the container is scheduled to depart on April 30 carrying a considerable volume of medicines, disposable materials, supplies and medical equipment, clothing, milk, and a wide range of food, which will be destined for the Pediatric Hospitals “William Soler” of Arroyo Naranjo and “Juan Manuel Márquez” of Marianao, as well as for the Sociocultural Project Cabildo Quisicuaba, of Havana.
The Cuban ambassador in Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, on behalf of the staff of the Antillean diplomatic mission in Nicosia and of his people and government, thanked that infinite and immeasurable gesture of support towards his country, the result of countless days of dedication and selflessness from the most unexpected places and sectors of the Mediterranean nation.
He particularly appreciated the care and dedication of representatives from the Cyprus-Cuba Friendship Association, the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), the Pan-Cypriot Labor Federation (PEO), the Pan-Cypriot Women's Movement (POGO), the Cypriot Council for Peace, Bishop Isaias, Metropolitan of Tamassos and Oreinis, the dance school “Caliente Dance Studio” under the direction of George Christodoulou, and the Cuban citizen Dayana Torres, as well as many other compatriots from the island who joined this noble gesture, in coordination with the Association of Cubans Resident in Cyprus.
The Cuban diplomat paid singular gratitude to the staff of CIM Biomedical Co, where executives and workers provided their facilities for the storage and assembly of the precious cargo, and gave their best to continue demonstrating – in difficult times for the largest of the Antilles and alongside thousands of Cypriot friends – that #CubaNoEstáSola.
