MIAMI, United States. — Blackouts and shortages of food, water and other basic services are part of the panorama suffered by the inhabitants of Havana since Hurricane Ian passed through western Cuba.
In the capital, many people have not only suffered from a lack of water and electricity, but have also lost what little food they had due to lack of refrigeration.
“The situation in this country is getting worse every day. People go to bed thinking about what they are going to eat the next day”, he declared to CubaNet the activist Ángel Cuza, a resident of Old Havana.
In that municipality of the capital, people received tubes of picadillos after Ian passed. However, the shops are mostly empty due to shortages.
According to Cuza, in the days after Ian’s passage and in response to the protests that have taken place in much of the province there have been numerous Internet outages.
“There were at least two days in a row when they took down the Internet from eight at night until five in the morning,” the activist said.
