Cuba food crisis: Havana turns to world food programme for help


As Cuba faces an economic crisis, the country is grappling with severe shortages, rising child malnutrition, and a historic appeal for UN aid. The crisis has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and US sanctions, leaving Cubans struggling to access basic necessities and leading to a surge in protests across the country. As the situation…

  1. Cuba gets free food donated from other countries how does a Cuban on the street not get any of this food ? Corruption communist government is full of corrupted officials who rummage thru these shipments to sell to the public when it was donated freely. Not even the Red Cross will be allowed in Cuba . A church from America sends 100K in food to Cuba it can only go to another church in Cuba to donate the communist government doesn’t allow any other country direct access to it’s starving population so they can continue to blame the USA embargo how do I know this ? I’m Cuban . You Americans blame the embargo we Cubans blame the communist corrupted government .

  2. Cuba choose communism so why complain about shortages? They made their bed they need to sleep in it. Isn't communism all about self sufficiency and all?

  3. There is no specific nutrient in dairy that humans cannot get from other sources, sources less damaging to our bodies. Globally, the vast majority are lactose intolerant, and most of the calories in milk come from saturated fat which is the least ideal major calorie source for human anatomy. Milk contains bovine hormones which have measurable effects on the body, and high dairy consumption can cause early menarchy in female children. Dairying has only been practiced for about 10,000 years, and far more recently in most societies. Dairy is not an important factor in addressing food insecurity, it is a primarily European cultural phenomenon and something people tend to have an emotional attachment to because they conflate it with the importance of human breastfeeding. These phenomenon are however not related

  4. TO THOSE FEDERAL NEWSCASTERS [“ALJAZEERA ENGLISH: CUBAN NUTRITION CRISIS”] AND Y’ALL, “LATEST AL JAZEERA VIEWERS, ‘MAY YOUR GRAND CREATOR HELP AN UNRIGHTEOUS TO BECOME’ RIGHTEOUS!” 😹😹

  5. My advise to anyone thinking about traveling to Cuba. There are many beautiful and free islands in the Caribbean; go there instead. Why support a regime that oppresses people? I know the prices are irresistible; 300 Euros with everything included. That's because the government keeps100% of what you spend there. Travel with your conscience. Go to a place that is modern and clean where you can freely travel around and don't have to encounter beggars asking you for extra Euros or Dollars.

  6. The socialist model has failed everywhere. Cuba was finished when the handouts from Russia and then Venezuela dried up. Time to end the dictatorship.

  7. And where they geographically located they should not have such issues!!
    Pure management because of stupid one man ideology and now it’s a result!!!
    Earth doesn’t turn backwards so our lifestyle!!!

  8. Yeah, I don’t believe the bullshit. The American embargo had nothing to do with anything they were getting food from China, Russia, ect. but they use it for tourism. The people never get it. Sometimes it would rot in warehouses, but they still refuse to give it to the people that’s truth

  9. Matthew 6:26 (KJV) Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
    Je'sus Christ

  10. It takes a special kind of stupid to live in a climate where anything literally anything grows. Yet you still have food problems. Only communists could be that stupid.

  11. Any government that drives its own citizens into the ocean, risking their lives to escape from their home land, has failed catastrophically.

  12. US sanctions do not cause all those shortages. The communist ideology and centralized economy cause all those problems. The bandits like Castros damaged and destroyed this beautiful island in last 60 years, and try to blame it on the USA. Lets people decide with free elections and normal democracy what they want, and after transition to democracy everything would change for better almost overnight. But of course it is not going to happen because there is enough political criminals and special secret police that sold themselves to castro's regime for a bowl of extra rice. Sad what deviants can do to their own people!

  13. They have no land to cultivate?why they choose to sit in the city instead going to work in agriculture.I can't understand the crisis of milk,rice etc while you have land and water. Cuba is country know as leader in revolutionary movements.they must first change their mind and leaves always thinking US and others are only root of their food crisis.look how haitians and DRC resolve their insecurity by running of international help! how many countries rises from ashes and war conflicts and rebuilding their economy.
