In the long, unresolved story of two nations separated by ninety miles and decades of political estrangement, a small digital bridge has gone dark. A US-based portal that allowed Cuban diaspora families to send packages — medicine, food, clothing — to relatives on the island abruptly halted new orders this week, its silence speaking louder than any official explanation. The closure is less a business event than a reminder that for ordinary people caught between governments, the channels of care are always provisional, always subject to forces beyond their control.
