Leidys Martha Matos Salazar, a resident of Santiago de Cuba, used social media to request humanitarian aid for a family in a precarious situation in her community.
Through a message posted in the Facebook group "La Gente del Salao," Matos highlighted the difficult reality faced by this family from the La Redonda neighborhood, emphasizing the increasing poverty that affects many people in the region.
"This family is currently living in an unfavorable situation. We again ask for humanitarian aid from all these mothers in the group who are always willing to collaborate," said the person, who reported that a collection of donations would be organized and offered the number 58121325 for those who wished to help.
Matos shared a gallery of images that showed the mother with three small children living in extreme poverty.
This request for help for a family in a precarious situation once again highlights the lack of action by the Cuban regime to address the growing poverty and basic needs of its population.
In July, the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights (OCDH) presented the VII Report on the State of Social Rights in Cuba 2024, with revealing results about the Cuban reality.
The non-governmental organization emphasized in the document that “89% of Cuban families suffer from extreme poverty,” one percentage point more than last year and 13% more than in 2022.
One of the most significant pieces of information is the one that highlights that "7 out of 10 Cubans have stopped having breakfast, lunch, or dinner, due to a lack of money or food shortages."
