People from Santiago suffer long lines to access essential services.

The Cuban Observatory of Human Rights reported that the situation with the lines to access basic services has worsened in Santiago de Cuba.


The people of Santiago are facing a critical situation, with long lines to access essential services such as withdrawing cash from ATMs, public transport, and purchasing liquefied gas, which has generated increasing discontent among the population.

The Cuban Observatory of Human Rights (OCDH) alerted on its Facebook account last Wednesday that the situation has worsened in the southeastern city, making it difficult for citizens to access all essential services.

"Long lines for everything, to withdraw money from ATMs, for transportation, to purchase liquefied gas," pointed out the organization, denouncing the ordeal that Santiago residents live through daily.

The shared video shows large crowds of people in various regime establishments, as well as the displeasure it generates among the people.

Access to cash through ATMs or bank counters remains a serious problem for the residents of Santiago de Cuba, and the regime has not managed to find an effective solution to this situation.

At the bank located at the intersection of Garzón and Third Street, in the Santa Bárbara neighborhood, people spend the night and early morning lining up to access the limited cash available when the bank opens the next day.

In June, a group of mothers stood in endless lines in Santiago de Cuba to buy the picadillo that the regime sold for the children in celebration of Children's Day, which took place on June 1.
