Neighborhood in Santiago de Cuba has been without water for 43 days: "We have a little because a neighbor bought a tanker."

Residents of the Chicharrones neighborhood in Santiago de Cuba have been without water supply for 43 days, and although the crisis has not been resolved by the regime, a neighbor bought a truckload of water and shared the vital liquid with the community, providing some relief.

Journalist Yosmany Mayeta shared a video on Facebook showing neighbors on 20 Alto Street carrying water using buckets, containers, tanks, and any type of vessel.

"Thanks to a neighbor who bought a water tank," said the person who reported the sad situation in this Santiago neighborhood regarding the issue of water supply.

"And look at the color of the water," the woman in the video pointed out, showing that the containers held a liquid darker than usual.

Mayeta emphasized that "the crisis with the water supply in Santiago de Cuba shows no signs of coming to an end," and at the same time, denounced that the problems affect this community and also others.

"The crisis is extending to other peripheral neighborhoods of the city, and the Water and Sewage Company 'Aguas Santiago' has not been able to solve the constant breaks in the central pipe, known as 'La Maestra' by many residents of Santiago," he noted, highlighting that recently more than 80 percent of the city was left without service.

Bricella Hernández, an oncology patient from Santiago de Cuba, denounced on social media this Saturday the inefficiency of those responsible for public services in that city.

Hernández, who has undergone 25 surgeries, a cystostomy, and suffers from urinary incontinence, in addition to multiple health issues, expressed on Facebook his frustration with the lack of response from those in charge of the water supply.

However, water supply issues are recurring in several provinces of the country, demonstrating that the inefficiency of the regime is not exclusive to a particular local government, but to the system as a whole.

Recently, a young Cuban complained about the water shortage that the population of La Reforma, in the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud, has been suffering, as they haven't had running water for almost a week.

A video shared by X user @DiazVismar38292 helped amplify the complaint made by the young man, who explained the situation faced by the nearly 1,800 residents that, according to EcuRed, make up the population of La Reforma.

The population of Pinar del Río faces a similar problem, as despite the fact that the territory "has sufficient reserves to meet the demands of its population," the pipelines and other systems for supplying the vital liquid to the population do not work together to prevent the residents of that province from suffering from shortages.

This is compounded by frequent breakdowns of the systems, which force the extension of supply cycles, while the passage of cyclones and delays in recovery continue to make life difficult for the residents of Pinar del Río.
