San Juan, October 11 (RHC)-- The Cuba Solidarity Committee in Puerto Rico closed Sunday its campaign to collect medical supplies, including 500 thousand syringes, to contribute to the fight against Covid-19 in the largest of the Caribbean Islands.

Milagros Rivera, president of the Committee, explained to Prensa Latina that together with the Juan Rius Rivera Brigade, they have managed to comply with the campaign of the Continental Network of Solidarity with Cuba to assist it in the face of the U.S. blockade.

We are packing other medical supplies since we sent the syringes through Panama, with the assistance of the people there, and we will send them through the Dominican Republic,' Rivera said.

The activist indicated that the struggle against the U.S. blockade is permanent because imperialism does not rest in its eagerness to destroy the Cuban Revolution, using the most varied methods, including terrorism.

We have already finished packing all the donations we have received from the Puerto Rican people, in solidarity with the cause of Cuba', added the president of the CSC in Puerto Rico while, together with other members, she packed the medical products.

She revealed that, in addition, they are preparing for the realization on October 30 of several actions in solidarity with the independence of Puerto Rico, organized by the Latin American and Caribbean Continental Network.

Precisely this hemispheric organism articulated the campaign of 10 million syringes for Cuba, in which Puerto Rico assumed the goal through the Committee of Solidarity with Cuba to contribute half a million.
