The parishes of San Antonio María Claret and Santa Rosa de Lima, located in the municipalities of San Antonio del Sur and Imías in the province of Guantánamo, have maintained emergency kitchens to assist the most vulnerable victims following Hurricane Oscar's passage through the eastern region.
Cáritas, an international organization of the Catholic Church dedicated to charitable and social action, reported on Facebook that these initiatives are focused on supporting the elderly in need of care, individuals with disabilities, children, and others in critical situations.
Cáritas reported that these services take place in the homes of community leaders and members, who, with great dedication, prepare meals in large pots over charcoal or wood fires, due to the Cuban government's inability to restore normalcy in these areas.
The dishes offered to those in need include a traditional soup, ajiaco, and the well-known "charangón," which is a mixture of root vegetables, meats, vegetable soups, noodles, and other ingredients.
This menu has been designed with the aim of providing a simple, nutritious meal that is easy to prepare, ensuring that the most vulnerable receive the necessary sustenance during these times of extreme difficulty faced by the residents of those municipalities in Guantanamo.
"Caritas volunteers in affected parishes (some of whom have even been impacted by the disaster) donate their time, efforts, love, and more to this charitable work," the organization stated in a video shared on YouTube.
Cáritas also highlighted, as an example of solidarity and support for those affected, the story of the sisters in the Imías area of the Guantánamo-Baracoa diocese, "who accompany and assist vulnerable individuals from communities impacted by Hurricane Oscar."
The two young women had to climb onto a crane to transfer donations from one side of a collapsed bridge to the other, in order to assist those most affected by Hurricane Oscar.
