Truck accident leaves townspeople without
cooking oil
CAMAGUEY, Cuba - March 3 (Marilyn Díaz
Fernández, Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org)
- A number of residents of Sibanicú,
in Camagüey province, did not get their
monthly allotment of cooking oil in February
when the truck carrying the supply overturned
as it made its way to the town, spilling
the oil.
The truck, an old Soviet-made Zil 130, was
transporting the oil from a warehouse in
Guáimaro municipality, when it overturned
on the road between Cascorro and Sibanicú
February 16. During the accident, the metal
tank containing the oil ruptured, and the
oil was lost.
Townspeople say the government-run enterprise
in charge of food sales hasn't supplied
oil to replace the one that was lost, so
they have not been able to buy the half-pound
of oil allotted to them under the rationing
system.
