Residents of temporary shelters in Cuba
demand better conditions
HAVANA, Cuba, October 19 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - Residents of Lugardita,
a community of temporary shelters in the
Boyeros municipality of Havana, demanded
an improvent in living conditions in a letter
to local government authorities.
The letter points out the shelter has cracked
walls, and concrete floors that were never
finished. In terms of security, residents
say, there is scant lighting in the area
and police seldom if ever patrol, conditions
which they say foster little personal security.
The shelter consists of 59 cubicles in
which live five persons each, on average.
The residents all were allocated here after
losing their houses to collapse or other
causes.
