What Happened
Joy Duncan, a passionate advocate for Cuban culture, has initiated a campaign titled “For Da Love O Da Isles” to provide humanitarian aid to Cuba, which is facing a severe crisis due to a US blockade affecting fuel, medication, and food supplies. Duncan plans to load her VW camper van with half a tonne of aid and travel to Havana to distribute the supplies to those in need.
Why It Matters
The humanitarian situation in Cuba has deteriorated significantly, as reported by Duncan following her recent trip to the island. She witnessed firsthand the impact of economic collapse and the suffering of the Cuban people, stating that the lack of fuel has crippled infrastructure, leading to shortages of electricity, medication, and food. Duncan’s campaign aims to rally support from the Shetland community to alleviate some of this suffering.
What’s Next
Duncan is appealing for donations from Shetlanders to support her mission. As she prepares for her journey to Cuba, the success of her campaign will depend on community engagement and the willingness of individuals to contribute to the humanitarian effort.
