A U.S.-supported humanitarian flight departs for Cuba on January 16 carrying relief supplies as announced.

Source summary
The U.S. Department of State announced the first direct humanitarian shipments to Cuba from a $3 million disaster assistance package committed after Hurricane Melissa. A U.S.-supported flight will leave from Florida, a second flight is scheduled for January 16, and a commercial vessel will follow within weeks, carrying food, hygiene kits, and other essential items. The statement says the U.S. will take measures to prevent diversion of supplies and is partnering with the Catholic Church in Cuba to distribute aid. A fact sheet with further details is linked in the announcement.

    The State Department press statement (Jan 14, 2026) announced a first U.S.-supported humanitarian flight and said a second flight "will follow on January 16." Independent reporting (Reuters Jan 15) confirmed the plan and that flights were to be channelled through Cuba's Catholic Church, but as of Jan 16 there is no independent reporting or official arrival notice confirming that the second flight has departed or arrived. Given the projected completion date of Jan 16, 2026, and lack of on-the-record confirmation of departure/arrival in reputable outlets, the claim remains in progress. Follow up for confirmation of departure/arrival and cargo distribution on 2026-01-18.
