UN official condemns Cuba child deaths due to sanctions
The UN Human Rights Commissioner, Volker Türk, warned that the expanded US sanctions on Cuba are harming the health of the population, especially children, and putting their lives at risk. He confirmed that restrictions on medical supplies, including shortages of vital medicines and an increase in infant mortality to 9.9 per 1,000 live births, are leading to a deterioration of the country's public health situation. Additionally, food production has decreased by 60%, and the prices of basic commodities have risen. He called for an immediate halt to these sanctions, which are in conflict with the principles of international human rights law.
