Missing aid boats reach Cuba following Mexican Navy intervention

The US Coast Guard initially told French press agency AFP on Friday that the boats had been found but later recanted its statement, saying a search was still under way, prompting confusion.

The Nuestra America - "Our America" in Spanish - coalition includes nearly 300 organisations from more than 30 countries, among them non-governmental groups, unions, political parties and lawmakers. The group has delivered approximately 20 tonnes of aid by air and sea to Cuba, including food, medicine, solar panels and bicycles.
