Here's an article from February:

"Ottawa announces $8M to Cuba amid growing humanitarian crisis
Global Affairs Canada says the funding is meant 'to scale up food and nutrition for vulnerable Cubans'

"This funding is part of an international assistance program to strengthen local food security and nutrition," according to a news statement from Global Affairs Canada (GAC).

GAC says the funding is meant "to scale up food and nutrition for vulnerable Cubans."

The funding — to be released immediately — will be delivered through partnerships with the World Food Program and the United Nations Children's Fund, the statement said."
