Wow! Castro, Inc.’s oligarchs must be laughing their heads off right now. This is like winning the lottery! So much money, all at once. Naturally, the U.N. intends for this money to be used to help the Cuban people. But anyone familiar with Castro, Inc. knows that this criminal organization will NOT do any such thing. Instead, it will seek to profit from this gift by SELLING and RESELLING whatever relief supplies come into its hands.
And as Cubans in the eastern end of the island try to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, another major hurricane named Rafael is poised to hit the western end of the island, including Havana. Ka-ching! Castro, Inc. can’t wait to see how many more millions of dollars the U.N. will send after that storm does its nasty work.

The United Nations System in Cuba will dedicate 33,235,167 dollars to assist the half million victims of Hurricane Oscar in Guantánamo. The emergency recovery plan, for which six million dollars has already been allocated, focuses on water availability and hygiene, shelters and housing, education, logistics, health and food security. According to the agency, immediate aid will be given for six months, and other restoration projects could extend up to 18 months.
In its report, prepared with data offered by the Cuban authorities despite their usual lack of transparency, the UN agency revealed that in the province, some 478,599 people were affected, of which 149,964 are critically impacted. More than half were left homeless. Some 14,300 homes and service facilities were damaged, as were 56 health centers, 349 schools and 15,000 hectares (37,066 acres) of land.
They also confirmed the death of eight people– seven in San Antonio del Sur and one in Imías – and on Thursday reported that the search for two missing people continues: Kaliannis Hernández Urgelléz, 35, and Orlenis Gamboa Pérez, 42, both from San Antonio del Sur.
The damage is considerable and will take, at the usual pace of the Government, years to recover from, but the authorities insist on presenting a climate of tranquility and demonstrating “the traces of recovery,” as the Presidency’s profile on X called the work of the Civil Defense.
In principle, the authorities have guaranteed food for the victims with products that are not very nutritious or healthy, such as condensed milk and soft drinks. In an article published this Thursday, the hot dog factory of Sancti Spíritus told Escambray that it has produced five tons of that product to send to Guantánamo.
“It’s about supporting the most vulnerable families in the affected areas, so the plant workers, in just two days, made that amount of packaged hot dogs, while in the Roberto Quesada packaging company, four tons of sausages were manufactured for them,” applauds Escambray.
Miguel Díaz-Canel visited Imías on Wednesday, repeating slogans and proposing the usual voluntarism*. The images disseminated by the official press are eloquent: schools in which classes are now taught, unharmed fields, factories in operation, bridges under repair. None of the places they visited are totally collapsed, and do not include centers that are closed or without service.
