Cuba Street: A Model of Community Hygiene in Old Havana’s Heart
https://world-outlook.com/2026/05/08/cuba-street-a-model-of-community-hygiene-in-old-havanas-heart/from #WorldOutlook
May 8, 2026The article below was published on October 10, 2025, ...by a website of #Havana’s city government. It describes a concerted effort by local residents, the city administration, and private businesses to end the problem of trash accumulation in that part of #Cuba’s capital city.
Since then, this problem has become more acute and widespread in Havana as a consequence of the #US #oil #blockade, which, since January 3, has stopped virtually all #petroleum shipments from reaching Cuba. The resulting fuel shortage has... made it difficult to almost impossible for garbage trucks to operate and regularly collect trash.
... this article describes an example of the initiatives ordinary Cubans take to improve their daily lives in the middle of extreme adversities caused by Washington’s decades-old economic war.

US Officials Visited Havana to Lay Out Proposals for Cuban Reforms
The delegation told Cuba’s leadership that it had only a narrow window of time to make the economic and political changes demanded by the Trump administration.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/world/americas/us-officials-cuba-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.cFA.TOWp.Enyhf8XRSwOH&smid=url-share[Imperialist vultures circling around Cuba - drive them out!]
from #NewYorkTimes #NYT
[shareable 30-day gift article]
April 18, 2026The US delegation last week proposed bringing Starlink satellite internet to the island and allowing free connectivity. It also urged the Cuban regime to make economic changes to attract foreign capital, grow the private sector and transition to a market-based economy.
These economic changes, the State Department official said, would also need to include ways to compensate #US citizens and corporations that had assets and properties confiscated in the 1960s.
#Cuba would also need to release political prisoners...and allow greater political freedom.

Video - Why Cuban Women Say the #Blockade Hits Them First
https://peertube.world/w/1dFMD9p3AorrLBrtGvaTTa[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Hundreds of Cuban #women gathered at Mariana Grajales Park in Havana to denounce the #Trump administration’s intensification of the #US government 60-year economic war on Cuba.
For women, the impact is felt both in their professional and personal lives, as many bear the primary responsibility for running households and caring for children and the sick, tasks that have become increasingly difficult under the tightened #embargo. This is the case of Cecilia Valdés, a caregiver daughter who explains that her mother has been unable to access #medication due to restrictions caused by the #embargo.
Tuesday’s gathering also paid tribute to the 96th anniversary of Vilma Espín, the late leader of the organization, who devoted much of her life’s work to the empowerment of women within the #CubanRevolution.

Video - The Human Cost of US Sanctions
https://peertube.world/w/7Li2JGyMsh5FFDkYvPsJGi
Duration - 8:28[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
BotB's Liz Oliva and Drop Site’s Ryan Grim recently visited the William Soler Pediatric #Hospital in #Havana where they spoke with the chief anesthesiologist, Alioth Fernández, and the parents of some of his patients.
Cuba's public and free #healthcare system was long considered one of the best in the world. Its doctors are top-notch, dedicated and caring. This is a story about what happens when the most powerful country in the world uses economic warfare to deprive a smaller country from obtaining the #medicine it needs to save lives.
The #Cuban government cannot access the international financial system, cannot import freely, cannot buy what its children need — not because of indifference, but because #US sanctions have destroyed the country’s economy and drained the #PublicHealth budget.

Video - Nuestra América Convoy: Why Hundreds Are Traveling to Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/dyZN8hoW1ZEkVyAnpoPQ5QMarch 20, 2026
from #BellyOfTheBeastHundreds of people from across the US and around the world are traveling to Cuba as part of the #NuestraAméricaConvoy. At a time when the island is facing one of its deepest economic crises in decades, marked by fuel shortages, rolling blackouts, and growing hardship, these travelers arrive with a clear message: #solidarity.
For years, Cuba has endured the effects of the US economic war, a policy that restricts trade, limits access to essential goods, and complicates daily life for millions. In recent years, the situation has deteriorated further, with inflation, migration, and widespread shortages affecting nearly every aspect of life on the island.
Now, activists, organizers, and ordinary citizens are choosing to witness these realities firsthand and to challenge #US restrictions on #oil shipments to #Cuba.

Cuba rejects US Embassy request to bring in fuel, calls it ‘shameless’
An effective US #oil #blockade has worsened the island’s #energy crisis. The US Embassy in #Havana, too, is feeling the effects.from #WaPo
March 20, 2026
https://archive.ph/N81lyIn a diplomatic note to the embassy, the ministry said the administration’s fuel blockade was aimed at “causing the greatest possible harm to the Cuban economy, the well-being of the people, and their standard of living.”
“The Ministry interprets as shameless the claim by the diplomatic mission to access a good as a privilege that it denies to the Cuban people,” the ministry said, according to a State Dept. translation. The note was dated March 9...
The #US and #Cuba have been adversaries for 65 years. Officials in Washington and Havana have held direct talks aimed at resolving differences, #DíazCanel said last week. The administration has not made its demands of Havana public.

‘What Did These Cuban Children Do to Trump?’: US #Embargo Blamed as Infant Mortality Soars
“Is there anything worse than a child dying of cancer when it was preventable?” asked one observer.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/cuba-infant-mortalityfrom #CommonDrreams
Brett Wilkins
Feb 12, 2026The crisis is particularly dire among children with cancer. #Cuba’s free healthcare system—which prioritizes the health of the people instead of industry profits, as in the #US—once boasted a #pediatric cancer survival rate of 80%, on par with the world’s wealthy nations. Now that’s down to around 65% as the blockade has forced healthcare providers to modify treatment protocols and medications.
“The situation is very serious at the moment. It was already in terms of acquiring supplies and medicines. But now it is intensifying and complicated with other aspects,” Dr. Forteza Saéz, an oncologist at Havana’s University of Medical Sciences, told La Jornada...

Interview with Irish legend, David Hickey
https://peertube.wtf/w/d2mDpoeiwvVFNNAWTLSVgp
[A video podcast about #Cuba, hosted on PeerTube.wtf, from the podcast team #CubaAnalysisPodcast]
#DavidHickey’s extraordinary life bridges three distinct worlds: renowned #Irish surgeon, sporting legend, and #solidarity activist.
Hickey’s solidarity with Cuba began through his admiration for its athletes, especially Olympians Alberto Juantorena, track runner, and boxer Teófilo Stevenson, who turned down lucrative professional contracts in order to remain loyal to the Cuban Revolution. In the 1990s, while developing #Ireland’s pancreas transplant programme, Hickey met a Cuban transplant surgeon in France who invited him to visit the island.
In 1999, Hickey travelled to Havana and was ‘absolutely captivated’ by the people and society. He founded the Irish Cuban Medical Association, which shipped ten 40-foot containers of medical supplies to Cuba...

US Denies Cuban Volleyball Team Visas…Citing “Terrorism”?
[A #video on #PeerTube about #Cuba from the video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
The Cuban women’s national #volleyball team was denied visas to compete in Puerto Rico’s NORCECA Final Four — a key qualifier for international championships, such as the Olympic Games that will be held in LA in 2028 and the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games.
The International Olympic Committee recognizes the right to practice #sport without discrimination. Instead, for Cubans, #politics got in the way. The #US decision, tied to Cuba’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, has robbed the team of crucial ranking points, exposure to scouts.
👉 In this video:
• They were robbed of international tournaments: The players’ testimonies.
• Why are US sanctions misleading about the fair play of Cuban athletes in the Olympics?https://cuddly.tube/w/kc46U82wUXZbUGyvCjsc1o

Vietnamese Are Helping Cuba With 38-Cent Donations. A Lot of Them.
Cuba sent doctors and food to Vietnam during the war. Now ordinary Vietnamese are sending cash to struggling Cubans
from #NewYorkTimes #NYT
[gift article - link can be shared. Expires in 30 days.]By Damien Cave
Aug. 19, 2025[This article is mostly an attack on the Cuban government, but I found the parts about solidarity between #Cuba and #Vietnam inspiring.]
She watched videos and read about how Cuba supported Vietnam during the wars of the 1960s and ‘70s, building hospitals and sending doctors, sugar and cattle. Inspired, she donated 500,000 Vietnamese dong, about $19, from the modest income she earns at her family’s grocery store.
A new crowdfunding campaign for Cuba led by the Vietnam Red Cross Society has raised more than $13 million in the first week...
