Also on Tuesday, humanitarian aid sent by the Bolivian government and people arrived in Havana. The donation includes 1,000 mattresses and roofing materials to contribute to housing repairs.
On delivering the aid at Havana’s José Martí airport, the general director for emergencies and assistance of the Bolivian Civil Defense Ministry,
