More than 300 people, including children, received treatment for Havana Syndrome.

More than 300 people, including children, have had to undergo treatment for what is known as Havana Syndrome, according to a report issued by the United States Government Accountability Office.

A total of 334 people, including active duty military personnel, current and former federal employees from other agencies, and their family members, have qualified to receive care in the United States military health system.

Still, those affected, who are not exclusive to the Cuban capital but have been detected in other parts of the world, face challenges in receiving their treatment, according to a report from El Nuevo Herald.

The American newspaper notes that most of the affected officials come from intelligence agencies and the Department of Defense of that northern country.

In that sense, the figure, as of April 2024, is 257 government civilian workers, former employees, and family members who had qualified to receive treatment.

Likewise, 88 of them came from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, while 74 were referred by the Department of Defense.

The rest includes 28 people referred by the FBI, 44 by the Department of State, and 26 from the Departments of Homeland Security and Agriculture, the National Security Council, and the United States Agency for International Development, the report states.

Among the main symptoms described by the victims are exposure to sensory phenomena such as pressure and noise coming from a specific location, and the development of brain trauma along with a variety of other symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, migraines, visual problems, and cognitive impairment.

Regarding the U.S. Embassy in Havana, it was not until late 2016 that officials began to experience a series of strange symptoms, which led to their concern about the handling of the situation by intelligence agencies, as well as the conclusions that ruled out a possible attack by a foreign adversary.

In February of this year, the Congress of that country increased its suspicions that the intelligence reports did not investigate the matter thoroughly enough and hastily dismissed it as a threat.

Initially regarded as an unusual "acoustic attack," the investigation into the events was marked by discrepancies and omissions in the studies commissioned by government agencies, which have increased confusion surrounding these incidents. Although intelligence agencies have ruled out the involvement of foreign adversaries, later reports suggest that commercial devices such as directional speakers could be involved.

At the end of March of this year, an investigative report conducted by The Insider, in collaboration with 60 Minutes and Der Spiegel, provided evidence suggesting that anomalous health incidents (AHI) - also known as Havana Syndrome - may originate from the use of "directed energy weapons" wielded by members of Unit 29155 of the Russian military intelligence services (GRU).

According to the extensive and detailed journalistic work, members of the Kremlin's military intelligence sabotage squad have been located at the sites of the alleged attacks against US government personnel abroad and their families.

The Cuban regime responded to those revelations by denying their existence and labeling the information as a "political operation" without basis.

"That's the Washington Syndrome," said the Deputy Director for the United States of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Johana Tablada de la Torre, who considered that the publication was a "propaganda" operation aimed at reviving "conspiracy theories."
