President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says Namibia will keep pushing for the unconditional lifting of the embargo while citizens mobilise humanitarian support for the Cuban people.

Elderly residents of Donkerhoek in Katutura have received winter relief support through a humanitarian programme led by the Office of the Khomas Regional Council.

Brazil donated N$1.9 million to the Namibian Chapter of the World Food Programme (WFP) to strengthen food systems in the country.

The programme supports communities across Namibia in building stronger, more resilient and sustainable food systems.

As winter temperatures continue to affect vulnerable communities across Namibia, initiatives that provide warmth, food and essential supplies have become increasingly important in supporting those most in need. 

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has expressed Namibia’s sympathy and solidarity with the government and people of Venezuela following the recent devastating earthquakes.

SADC and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) engaged in discussions regarding potential areas of mutual cooperation concerning the displacement of people within the region.

The Namibia-Cuba Friendship Association has called for a national consultative process aimed at mobilising humanitarian support for the island nation.
