As the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps the planet it is time for the New Zealand Government to actively support the UNs call to the US to urgently lift the blockage of Cuba that is obstructing the countrys health care systems ability to fight the COVID-19 crisis.
A chorus of voices across the UN have been emphatic that bringing the virus under control will only be achieved through multilateralism, cooperation, and solidarity. Cuba itself is demonstrating these values by sending medical teams to assist other countries response to the pandemic.
Hiding behind the anonymity of the annual unanimous UN votes condemning the Blockade is no longer a viable or honest option for the New Zealand Government, stated NZCFS spokesperson Warren Brewer
In a particularly bizarre move the U.S. has recently allocated $2 million toward sabotaging the work of Cuban medical teams in Central and South America. Mr Brewer added.
