The US blockade of Cuba entered its sixtieth year in 2022. It is the longest economic warfare against a people in history and causes shortages and suffering on a daily basis. During the COVID pandemic, lives were lost as the blockade prevented delivery of emergency medical supplies and delayed Cuba’s vaccine programme.

These cruel and illegal sanctions must end to allow the Cuban people to recover and rebuild after the pandemic. Find out why solidarity is vital and what you can do to help as the criminal blockade enters its seventh decade.
