Food Security and Medical Supplies in Crisis

Across Cuba, families are facing an escalating humanitarian emergency. Even before the current crisis, an estimated 89% of people were living in extreme poverty, struggling to access basic necessities like food, medicine, and clean water. Today, a deepening fuel shortage has intensified these hardships — disrupting transportation and waste removal, limiting access to hospitals and pharmacies, reducing food distribution, and leaving the most vulnerable even further isolated.

Frequent blackouts leave families with just a few hours of electricity daily, severely limiting their ability to preserve precious food supplies. At the same time, communities and healthcare professionals continue to struggle with the lingering and painful impacts of the widespread chikungunya virus, compounding their vulnerability and urgent need for support.
