Several Cubans have contacted our page showing concern.cupaction in the face of gas shortages in a context of blackouts of up to more than 18 hours a day.
"You can hardly watch the news because of the current. Isn't there any mention of gas?" they wrote directly to the editorial staff of Directorio Cubano. This person, a resident of Camagüey, says that for the moment he has availability in his small car, but he is worriedcupthat the shortage will spread. He cares for his sick wife and needs this product to ensure everything from nutrition to the hygiene of his home.
Along the same lines, a person affected by the virus from Cienfuegos, who is caring for his bedridden mother, tells us: "I don't know what I'm going to do when my bullet runs out. No one is reporting any improvement. We only have electricity for one to two hours a day, and sometimes I don't have time to do everything necessary to care for her."
The truth is that since CUPET They have not announced any news in this regard. In fact, the Camagüey branch confirmed about a week ago that the deficit situation continued. This was the message that they spread:
“Dear customers: In recent days, information circulated regarding the unloading of the liquefied gas ship in Santiago de Cuba and later in Nuevitas. This information corresponded to information we published on January 30 of this year, and someone, unaware of the date, used it and shared it on social media, creating confusion among our population. So far, no liquefied gas ships have arrived, and the countrywide deficit continues..
What options are left for Cubans? Coal. Prices are unattainable for most. Although it may seem incredible, many perceive the gift of a charcoal stove in these times in Cuba as something very precious.

If it is true that the government has not intervened, it must find alternatives in this regard, because coal is at exaggerated prices when you find it, there is nothing to light it with, in short, the situation is very difficult for us Cubans who remain on the island today.
The country's currency allows leaders to travel the world, to take vacations because nothing is resolved, the gas is chaotic, the food is terrible, the electricity is useless, the Cuban quality of life is on the floor.
I live in a municipality in Pinar del Río. We haven't had access to gas since November. With the prolonged blackouts, I obviously don't have any left. I live in an apartment and have a child with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Imagine that. No one reports on this situation. Very few options... There's no other option but to use coal.
For bedridden patients, there IS liquefied gas distribution. When your gas runs out, buy some charcoal. I've been cooking with charcoal here in Matanzas since December. I wonder if I studied a bachelor's degree and four languages for this?
Now on this trip, Diaz Canel talks to Putin to send him gas, since there is plenty of it in Russia…are we friends or what? R3.
Until when is this?
What a way to mistreat the population. There's not a single piece of information. What kind of government do we have, for God's sake?
Did they spend the money for the LPG on solar panels? I wonder where the money is?
exemplary despotism. But hey, long live Cuba free of despots.
Speechless, foodless, nothing to cook with, no power. Until when? Or is this here to stay? 😱😥
Nobody reports anything, total silence and our leaders traveling the world
Well, if we pay 1.500 or 2.000 for the sack of coal… Let’s save money and stop them from selling it in foreign currency… Cleaner, cheaper, and more durable.
The truth is that in a country where blackouts last almost all day and we don't have gas, I don't know how much longer we can hold out.
this is ugly
I live in a high-rise building, the gas is screaming, and what hope do I have? I'm a senior citizen. Can you tell me what I cook with? They never answer. Why? It's my right. Angeles
