Madrid, Aug. 21 (Prensa Latina) Various materials make up the third solidarity container this year for Cuba from Valencia, Spain, which will depart for the Cuban port of Mariel at the end of August, it was reported today.

The shipment, worth 70,000 euros, is intended to support the soup kitchen and socio-health care of the Quisicuaba community project, according to Cubainformación, reported to Prensa Latina.

The medical supplies and work equipment were donated by the Valencian city council of Guadassuar (Ribera Alta), the Communist Party of the Valencian Country, volunteer associations such as Corazón Exprés (Marina Baixa), and numerous individuals from municipalities such as Bétera, L'Alfàs del Pi, and Valencia.

Thanks to 26 financial contributions from various organizations such as the Rotary Club and Giving4Giving, and the collaboration of the L'Alfàs del Pi City Council and individuals, 3,500 euros were raised to purchase food and other materials.

The shipment and coordination for its delivery to the Caribbean island were sponsored by Euskadi Cuba, the Ernesto Guevara Association of Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid), and the José Martí Association of Friendship with Cuba in Valencia, all members of the MESC (State Movement of Solidarity with Cuba).

Dedicated to the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, the container includes, in addition to food, various medical supplies, intended to support the care provided to the Centro Habana community of the Quisicuaba project, especially to older adults and those at risk of social exclusion.

This is the fifth container that the Valencian association has created in collaboration with renowned Cuban artist Michel Mirabal, also known as the painter of Cuban flags.

The Valencian Association of Friendship with Cuba "José Martí" denounced the "61 years of the US blockade of Cuba and 31 years of condemnation of this policy in the United Nations General Assembly."

They classify it as "an act of war in peacetime that violates the human rights of an entire people, becoming a crime against humanity that must be tried and condemned."
