Numerous mothers and their children face eviction from an ice factory in Santiago de Cuba.

A group made up of several large families, 19 children, one bedridden person, and a pregnant young woman faced an eviction attempt this Friday in Santiago de Cuba from the old Ice Factory, which they have occupied since last May due to serious housing problems.

The journalist Yosmany Mayeta reported on Facebook that the group of people occupied the old building, located on Barracones street and that had been used as a dump, because they were desperate due to the "ball games and government lies," after years of waiting for a housing solution.

Mayeta pointed out that after two months of occupation, an individual, backed by the City Government and the Director of Physical Planning, known as Bárbara, authorized the expulsion of the mothers from the site.

This Friday, when they arrived at the scene, the women found the door broken in and the supposed owner inside, preventing their access, "while the children were present," Mayeta reported.

The video shared by the journalist clearly shows the high level of desperation of these mothers, who, in a violent act, destroyed the structure that was preventing them from reaching their children and entering what they consider their only refuge.

In addition, they expressed fear for their safety, claiming that the alleged owner of the factory threatened them, a situation that has created concern and fear among the women, who are afraid for their lives and the safety of their children.

Last Monday, a Cuban reported the eviction of his octogenarian grandmother from her home in Bayamo, Granma, and condemned the total inaction of the National Police (PNR), which refused to take the report.

In the Facebook group Revolico in Havana, the user Ali Sami posted two posts hours apart, in which he details the situation that Mrs. Libia Sablon Aguilera is experiencing, who has a hip fracture at the age of 83.

In last April, the Cuban Edelvis Reina Fonseca del Toro, mother of an eight-year-old girl, reported that the authorities threaten to evict her and demolish the small rustic house she built with her own effort, in the municipality of San Miguel del Padrón, in Havana.

Fonseca, 51 years old, built a room with wood and zinc sheets about two months ago in the Las Yaguas neighborhood of Cuncuní, where he lives with his daughter, reported the newspaper CubaNet.
