Summary
Cuba just received a massive 15,000-ton rice shipment from China — the first of 60,000 tons promised to ease severe food shortages. President Diaz-Canel vowed it will reach every province, school, and hospital. Amid ongoing US embargo pressures and recent oil cuts from Venezuela, this aid is critical.
