CARACAS (Sputnik) – Venezuela will be receiving an average of 100 containers with medicines from both China and Russia monthly until the end of this year, Venezuela's Health Minister Carlos Alvarado said, adding that this measure will allow overcoming the consequences of the blockade imposed on the South American country by the United States.

"These medicines will be enough to meet [the demand] of our healthcare system," Alvarado said on Wednesday, as aired by the VTV broadcaster.

Residents cross a street in the dark after a power outage in Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, March 7, 2019. A power outage left much of Venezuela in the dark early Thursday evening in what appeared to be one of the largest blackouts yet in a country where power failures have become increasingly common. Crowds of commuters in capital city Caracas were walking home after metro service ground to a halt and traffic snarled as cars struggled to navigate intersections where stoplights were out. - Sputnik International

The minister added that Caracas had already received large amounts of vaccines, brought to Venezuela by air, from China and Russia.

"Separate purchases still remain blocked," the minister added, referring to US restrictions against Venezuela.

In late March, Venezuelan Vice President Tareck El Aissami said the country had received 65 tonnes of medicines from China.

Russia has also repeatedly delivered aid, including medicines, to crisis-hit Venezuela at the request of the country’s authorities.
