Soap, toothpaste and sugar unavailable
under the ration book on the Isle of Youth
NUEVA GERONA, Cuba, Sept. 11 (www.cubanet.org)
- The 80,000 residents of the Isle of Youth
cannot find soap, toothpaste and sugar available
for purchase under ration books.
Toothpaste became scarce in December as
did soap and sugar in January.
The government's Municipal Commerce and
Gastronomy Company has offered no explanation
for the shortages.
Those unable to find rationed goods and
products have to pay for them in dollars
at dollar stores.
Said resident Julio César Benítez:
"This shows that the situation of the
Cuba is getting more difficult. Not everyone
has access to dollars."
