Good morning, you give information about Havana, but what about the other provinces? Or are those of us who live there not Cubans as well? I say this because in Ciego de Ávila, coffee hasn't been delivered for over six months. Children in this province get six or seven boxes of jam a month, while those in Havana get 6 boxes. Then you say the law is the same for all Cubans. Draw your own conclusions.
People over 65 on medically-funded diets are dying from lack of it, as their pensions aren't enough to buy groceries at the Mipime (Ministry of Health and Social Security). We're getting hypoglycemia in line at the bank when it's time to collect our paycheck. We're malnourished. We're hungry.
HERE ON OCTOBER 3 THEY OWE 30 SHIPMENTS OF CIGARS, NOW ONE ARRIVED WITH DATE FROM APRIL XNUMX AND THEY NOTED IT IN MAY, WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE REST OF THE SHIPMENTS?
Good afternoon, I'm from Banes, Holguin province. The basic food basket is conspicuous by its absence, and not only that, but water, which is such an important complement to life here, has also disappeared. Distribution cycles are between four and six months, so the outlook is complicated for everyone, finding us neglected and forgotten by everyone.
Good afternoon, because in Havana they serve 13 compotes and in the rest of the provinces they only serve 7 compotes, what does it consist of? I'm from Guantánamo.
I ask this and I do so with great respect. My husband is diabetic and has never seen a diet, only milk when Cuba is surrounded by water, sea and dam, if there is no beef why can't it be substituted with fish? We are not all the ones who can buy a package of chicken for 3300 pesos and the other thing is that there is very poor distribution if there is not enough for everyone then we wait, that is to say the purchase of the complete product in SS we are the same. The bread is disgusting, milk is water now they are advertising rice and sugar a pound per person when the year ends they will announce that whales to the Bipime to buy sugar because there is a dealer what in my opinion is not good for Cubans to export but if you do not have it for yours you have to comply with the people first and the shortage is total we cannot have hope that one day we will change. Greetings
The only information I see is that Havana and the other provinces no longer exist on the distribution map and Ciego de Avila is never reported, complaints remain in the air, no one responds to anything.
and the milk for the children, I don't see it
And they don't mention Holguin either. We're not on the map either. I think all provinces have the same rights and enough of favoritism. For God's sake, until when?
And for the Province of Artemisa, when will these basic foodstuffs arrive, what is hitting Cubans the hardest is the rice that doesn't arrive on time... We need most of the basic foodstuffs so the average Cuban's pocket doesn't suffer as much...
And the rice in May, because June is already ending and there is no rice, until when will the same story continue, when will they plan to fix everything in this country?
In Colon, May and June are waiting for something to come, even the extinct bread and meat products disappeared months ago.
They say that the tunas have no right to anything, there is still no rice for April and nothing else, coffee has not been given all year.
The oil company owes us pasta and soap for the April, May, and June orders, and now only 1 pound of sugar. I'm sure the distributor doesn't lack anything at home. Look.
Guantanamo doesn't belong to Cuba. It's not on the map because we're closer to Haiti, but none of the spots supply us. They didn't sell 5 pounds of April rice; the rest of the ship sank in the ocean.
Good afternoon, to which country does Villa Clara province belong, please thank you.
In Santa Clara, the April rice hasn't arrived, the shack was rented out to sell food, the bread is for children, and the coffee appeared lost in February, but they wrote it down as June. Don't wait any longer, the sugar is in June.
And central provinces like SS do not count on the map
And the blessed rice for children and those over 65 who announced where the salt is in my warehouse in El Moro (Naranjo stream) they only gave me 1 kilo for 9 people
Good evening. That distribution, or something similar, was distributed in the province of Santiago de Cuba and now in Havana. I wonder if the rest of the provinces won't receive the same products. It turns out that in the municipalities of Pinar del Río and in many of the Popular Districts, they never receive that quantity of products.
They need to distribute to Granma too.
That distribution is for Havana, the other provinces do not count, come to the east
I am from Havana and in June they gave us the April rice. Don't think that everything is for Havana.
Good afternoon, more than a comment, it's a question. Is this distribution of the basic food basket only for Havana or will it be carried out throughout the country? I ask because I'm from Guantanamo and there are quite a few delays.
Is it that the eastern provinces do not belong to Cuban territory? If so, we should update the map of Cuba to decide which country we belong to or if a new nation is created?
and Cienfuegos and Cruces that receive nothing
The only people in Cuba who have the right to the basic basket are the inhabitants of Havana. Havana represents Cuba. The rest of the inhabitants of the island are animal ghosts or are not people.
