A young Cuban has shared a video on her TikTok account @elly_bloggs, highlighting the critical situation many families in Cuba are facing due to the lack of electricity and gas for cooking.
The video, which has been widely circulated and has sparked outrage among thousands of users, shows the young woman's parents, who reside in the province of Matanzas, cooking with charcoal in their backyard due to a lack of alternatives.
In the video, the young woman's parents improvise a charcoal stove to prepare basic foods like rice and peas. This scene, reminiscent of times of survival and hardship, reflects an energy and supply crisis affecting the Cuban population, particularly in the provinces.
The young woman, visibly frustrated by her family's situation, expressed in the video: "This is exactly how my mother is in Matanzas. When is that situation going to change? I'm really fed up. The government doesn’t care about the people. And Cuba is dying from hunger and need."
Her words have resonated with the audience, highlighting the exhaustion and despair of those whose lives are marked by a lack of basic services.
Restrictions on electricity supply and the lack of gas for cooking have become a recurring problem in several regions of Cuba. Families are forced to resort to rudimentary and dangerous methods to prepare their meals, exposing themselves to risks and affecting their quality of life.
This situation, in addition to sparking outrage, has faced criticism towards the government for its inability to provide concrete solutions.
The video, which has already gathered thousands of views and comments, has sparked a heated debate on social media about the challenging situation facing Cubans and the lack of alternatives to cope with the crisis in basic services.
This type of publication not only reflects material shortages but also the increasing disconnect between the people and their leaders, amidst an economic and social crisis that worsens with each passing day.
