The community of Santiago de Cuba has been without water supply for over 20 days.

The residents of the Los Pinos neighborhood in Santiago de Cuba denounce more than 20 days without drinking water service, pointing out the persistent crisis that the regime has not yet resolved.

The communicator Yosmany Mayeta warned this Saturday on Facebook about the situation in the community, where people have been without access to the drinking water service for more than three weeks, and almost no one can afford the clandestine water trucks circulating in the neighborhood.

The water truck you see in the photo went to street B in Los Pinos, filled the tanks for a neighbor, and charged a high price. However, no one else could get water because we had to pay for it," denounced Mayeta, warning that the water truck drivers are taking advantage of the population's difficult situation to profit.

However, the true root of the problem lies in the fact that the regime has not solved the crisis facing the community for over 20 days, forcing people to take extreme measures, such as collecting the precious liquid directly from a leak in the street.

The woman who contacted the journalist Mayeta expressed that the community is demanding that the Santiago de Cuba government restore the supply in the neighborhood, as "many families do not have a drop to do household chores," which particularly affects children and the elderly.

These individuals are often unable to carry water or travel to places where there is a water supply.

Through some neighbors, CiberCuba confirmed that there are people who have been without water supply service for over a month, and they are forced to move to other areas of the city to access the precious liquid.

Yesterday a weak stream arrived that didn't reach the elevated tank at my house. Thanks to a neighbor who filled some bottles for me, I have some water to drink and cook," commented an elderly lady from the neighborhood.

The precarious situation of the water supply in the neighborhood of Santiago, as well as in other communities, together with the inefficiency of the local government, has led to the emergence of diseases in the population.

Mayeta reported on Saturday on Facebook that there is a "major outbreak" of an epidemic with symptoms of fever and vomiting in the Quintero, Santa María, and Boniato neighborhoods, in the main municipality.

The information was confirmed by more than 300 people in the publication.

Right now I know more than 20 people infested and I also had it, they are unbearable headaches, fever, back pain, vomiting, diarrhea, eye pain, and when you recover it leaves you very weak and with mild headaches for a few days," said a self-employed person.

"I was seriously ill and almost everyone in my area was the same way. There are outbreaks everywhere and they say there is no oil," pointed out a singer.
