A young Cuban delivered humanitarian aid to a vulnerable elderly person in the municipality of San Cristóbal, Artemisa.
In several photos shared in the Facebook group "Revolico San Cristóbal," the young Arlhey Camero is seen with the elderly man at a bus stop that leads to the town of San Diego, in that area.
The encounter happened around three in the morning, as explained in his post.
He said he tried to convince the man to take him to an elderly care place, although the man is reluctant to that idea because "he thinks he has to pay for that, I told him not to worry about the payment."
To help the elderly man, the man left him 1,000 pesos and a box of cigarettes. "It's not much, but he can eat something today," he mentioned.
In the text, the young man expressed that the man's memories are not in good condition and asked that anyone who could help him contact the number (+53) 51 810 417.
Last month, the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights (OCDH) presented the VII Report on the State of Social Rights in Cuba 2024, with revealing results of 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 that "7 out of 10 Cubans have stopped having breakfast, lunch, or dinner, due to a lack of money or food shortages."
According to the OCDH, "the most affected by this food shortage are people over 70 years old."
