Mexico has launched a search and rescue operation for two sail boats that vanished at sea while attempting to deliver food, medicine and other aid to Cuba. Nine people were on board the vessels, which were meant to deliver humanitarian relief to the island nation this week as part of a larger maritime convoy. A US oil blockade intended to pressure the Cuban government has plunged the country deeper into crisis, with food shortages and days-long electrical blackouts.
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday that a Mexican navy ship had made contact with the convoy but "after a few hours it no longer had contact, and from there a search process began. They're continuing the search for these two small vessels."
