00:00Likewise, in the middle of the Caribbean Sea and just hours away from reaching Cuba, a small
00:05vessel carrying 27 activists from 11 countries, moved forward with 30 tons of humanitarian
00:10aid in a journey that aims to deliver not only food and medical supplies, but also a
00:15message of international solidarity with the Cuban people.
00:19Journalist Gerardo Torres has more details.
00:27We're almost 48 hours in this journey from the coast of Mexico to La Habana, Cuba, in
00:33this solidarity flotilla and this convoy of Nuestra America in this boat that has been
00:38named Granma 2.0.
00:41This journey is taking 30 tons of food, medical supplies, and other kinds of support for the
00:48Cuban people in solar panels.
00:50We just left the waters of Mexico and we're heading to the open Caribbean looking to get
00:57to Cuba in the next 24 hours.
01:00The objective is to bring solidarity to be part of this international effort.
01:06We have seen messages of the great success that was the meeting in La Habana when people
01:10from all around the world showed their solidarity in this small boat.
01:1527 people from 11 countries are part also of this flotilla.
01:19And we know that there are also high expectations on the symbol of this exercise of this example
01:26of solidarity that is taking to La Habana.
01:29It's a small boat crossing an enormous sea, but it has a strong message, like the message
01:35that 70 years ago Fidel brought also in a small boat from coast to coast to the coast of Cuba.
01:41Today the message is solidarity.
01:43We are reporting from here, from the open waters, with these people that are willing,
01:50that are hopeful that the work of solidarity can be stronger, that the threats can be stronger
01:56than the use of power.
01:59The humanity and solidarity are the great hope of humanity.
02:04Reporting from the open and beautiful waters of the Caribbean,
