Thirsty Havana residents hijack water truck
HAVANA, Cuba, August 19 (Moisés
Leonardo Rodríguez / www.cubanet.org)
- A number of thirsty residents in Old Havana
forcibly took over a water truck and distributed
the water to neighbors.
Water has been in short supply since hurricane
Charley downed power lines.
The truck had been sent to supply a bakery
operated by a government agency. After the
truck's operator delivered water to La Eminencia
bakery, residents who had been milling about
asked him to give them the water remaining
on the truck.
When he refused, residents simply took
over the truck and started dispensing water
to all comers.
