As Cuba has grappled with electricity failures and natural disasters, Americans with family on the island and tourists considering visiting have been mobilizing to provide much-needed aid.
A street is lit by car lights during the third night of a nationwide blackout in Havana on Oct. 20, 2024.
Shoval explained that tourists are given suitcases filled with medical supplies to bring to drop-off locations on the island.
“People who live in Cuba love Cuba, and they want to stay there because they love the island.
For tourists who want to help, “Cuba is probably one of the easiest countries in the world as far as aid warrants.
