Travelers have been sleeping on the floor of the waiting terminal in Havana for six days.

People have been sleeping on the floor of the Villanueva waiting terminal in Havana for up to six days, without hope that the authorities will provide buses to travel to their destinations.

The Facebook profile "La Tijera" reported the situation on its profile, where it shared several photos showing the place crowded with people, including children.

One of the affected, who has been in the place for almost a week with his wife and an infant, reported that they have not been able to leave even by paying inflated ticket prices.

According to the author of the photographs, there are mothers with children, elderly people, and other individuals who live in the interior and had to travel to the capital for appointments and medical procedures.

"Sick people, sleeping on the floor as if they were animals, with the bathrooms filled with urine and excrement. This is a hell," he emphasized.

"The trucks that come to pick up passengers are asking for as much as eight thousand pesos per person, it's an abuse," he added.

In June, independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta posted images of people of all ages, including small children, sleeping on the floor of that terminal, where they remained for up to five days on the waiting list.

"We have been here for five days waiting to go to Oriente and nothing, this is going to take a while," a traveler stated, who reported that mothers with their children were sleeping on the floor, there was a line for the bathrooms, and the buses that arrived "only call one or two from the waiting list."

To the despair, abandonment, and suffering that passengers endure on "La Villanueva," the poor condition of the facility adds to the misery, with infested seats "full of bedbugs," making the wait even more unbearable.

Reporter Mayeta shared the testimony of a young woman who had been trying to return to her home in Santiago de Cuba for over five days, and she stated that the terminal had become a hell for travelers, especially those trying to travel to Santiago and Guantánamo, as the few extra buses that are made available seem to ignore these provinces, "as if they didn't belong on the map of Cuba."
