Journey Delayed, Search Initiated

The sailboats departed Isla Mujeres on March 20 and were expected to arrive by March 27. Communication was lost on March 24, leading to a search-and-rescue operation. The aid mission is part of wider efforts responding to shortages following a US-imposed oil blockade.
