They denounce that there is no drinking water at the Pediatric Hospital of Camagüey: "Where it never runs out is in the hotels."

"It is desperate, today I had to leave the hospital and carry water from a house. They don't send a water truck...", reported the mother of a hospitalized child.

A critical situation is occurring at the Camagüey Pediatric Hospital "Eduardo Agramonte Piña," where there is no drinking water for the admitted children or their families.

Independent journalist José Luis Tan Estrada recounted on his Facebook wall that he had to attend to a desperate father at the door of his aunt's house who was looking for water for his daughter who is hospitalized in the intermediate care unit.

"The girl ate and there is no water to give her," the anguished man said.

Other mothers confirmed that this situation has been going on for days and that the hospital administrators "are not doing anything to resolve it."

"It's frustrating, today I had to leave the hospital and carry water from a house. They don't send a water truck, and the shift leaders also don't care," said one of the affected.

Numerous internet users expressed their outrage in the post.

"Something as vital as water, and what management are the leaders of that province doing? It's a hospital. They don't even have water to drink, it's outrageous," questioned an autonomous individual.

"When one thinks they have seen it all, this now, in a hospital that requires so much cleanliness to avoid complications, how far are we going to go," pointed out a retiree.

"Where water is never lacking is in hotels, everything is guaranteed there," said a mother of a family.

"What a terrible thing, for God's sake, I also have a friend there with a little grandson, and she has even posted about it on Facebook. She is desperate for the bathrooms too, which have a very bad smell and reach the stalls," reported a housewife.

"The things that are being seen are terrible, the hotels and facilities of the useless PCC surely lack nothing, they don't care about the people. Not even slaves in colonial times were denied water," criticized a retiree.
