Two boats filled with humanitarian supplies travelling from Mexico to Cuba have been located days after contact with them was lost in the Caribbean, organisers say.
The boats were located by the Mexican Navy and the crews are safe, a spokesman for the Nuestra America Convoy said.
He did not explain why the two boats - the Friendship and Tiger Moth - had disappeared.
They are among several vessels that have sought to carry supplies to the island nation since the US imposed an oil blockade in January, prompting a chronic fuel shortage.
The Mexican Navy has not commented on how it located the boats, which departed Isla Mujeres, in Mexico’s easternmost state of Quintana Roo, on 20 March, and had been due to arrive at their destination on Monday or Tuesday.
Sumud Flotilla used to have photos of their cargo on their website. It was so embarrassingly little, they took them down.
Of course you don’t have to believe the claims they were empty.
