Cuban mothers have had to endure endless lines in Santiago de Cuba to buy the ground beef that the regime sold for children on the occasion of Children's Day, celebrated last June 1st.
Journalist Yosmany Mayeta reported on Facebook that residents of the neighborhoods Chicharrones and Flores denounced the lack of control in the ground beef sales at the store "Fin de Año," located in Chicharrones Park.
There, the lines started early in the morning and extended up to two blocks to buy two tubes of ground beef per child aged 0 to six years.
Many women had to line up starting at 5:00 am because they cannot "afford to miss out," amidst the food shortages on the island.
The workers of the entity, belonging to the state chain CIMEX, clarified that they would sell two tubes of ground beef at a price of 33.60 Cuban pesos for children between 0 and 6 years old, and they would distribute two ration books per person in line.
The consumer must bring the minor's identification card along with the ration book.
In the midst of the serious Cuban crisis, women not only face endless lines, but also the arbitrary measures of the regime, which excludes children aged seven and older from these "benefits."
Many mothers have criticized this exclusion in the sale of minced meat and questioned whether babies eat minced meat.
Families feel overwhelmed, especially now as summer vacation approaches and they will have children at home without enough food and no distractions to help them recover from an exhausting school year.
Children will not be able to enjoy television programming due to the power outages that affect much of the island for up to 20 hours a day.
