Online portal used by Cubans in US to send aid to relatives closes
The primary online portal through which Cubans in the United States send aid to relatives back on the island ceased operations under pressure from U.S. sanctions.
TL;DR
- Envioscuba.com, a primary online portal for Cubans in the U.S. to send aid to the island, has stopped operating.
- The closure is a result of U.S. sanctions aimed at GAESA, a military-run conglomerate that controlled much of Cuba's economy.
- Envioscuba.com facilitated the sale and delivery of products stored in GAESA warehouses, directly contributing to the conglomerate's revenue.
- The website now displays a message stating operations have ceased due to reasons beyond their control.
- It is anticipated that other similar online portals will also be forced to shut down soon.
