The primary online portal through which Cubans in the United States send aid to relatives back on the island ceased operations under pressure from U.S. sanctions.

Envioscuba.com has long served as a key portal for Cuban Americans to send support back home, but the operation was directly connected to the Grupo de Administracion Empresarial, or GAESA, a military-run conglomerate that controls much of Cuba’s economy. Visitors to the website are now greeted by a message saying it is ceasing operations.
