Original Note:
The embargo on Cuba exempts food and medicine particularly through NGOs. In general the policy applies only to business and financial transactions. Embargoes are considered a form of sanctions specifically distinct from a blockade or a siege: not enforced with violence. https://www.state.gov/fact-sheet-provision-of-humanitarian-assistance-to-cuba/ https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-515#_blank https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/embargo-1/
