This Sunday, amid the massive blackout in Cuba, an apartment in the 23 Alamar area of Havana caught fire after the family living in the home attempted to cook with firewood due to the lack of electricity.
A video shared on TikTok by internet user Lidia Rodríguez specified that at the time of the incident, there were two children in the house, and fortunately, there were no injuries as a result of the incident.
The images show smoke coming from the apartment, as well as the intervention of firefighters amid the anticipation of neighbors and other witnesses.
In the comments section of the publication, some internet users labeled it madness to cook with firewood inside a house, but others understood the desperation of not having food to give to their children, and asserted that the real blame lies with the government.
"Only they know what they are going through, it's hard, my people"; "They can't be blamed, they were feeding their children, it's not easy, the ones to blame are all the leaders and the president"; "And be thankful there was water"; "They are not to blame, it's the government, the poor, my God," were some comments.
An internet user shared another shocking story. She recounted that her sister's furniture got burned while trying to make smoke for the mosquitoes when there was no electricity in her house, and that thanks to the timely intervention of neighbors, a disaster was averted.
The Electric Company of Havana announced that as of 1:00 PM today, 759,634 customers from 290 circuits already have electricity service in the capital, which represents 88.12% of the total.
They also reported that out of the ten main sources of water supply in the capital, seven are in service, and work is ongoing continuously to incorporate the missing ones.
