Greetings, hivers.
One of the groups most affected by the current situation in Cuba is the elderly. They are affected in many ways. Without fuel to move around, they cannot face long walks, nor do they have the money to pay the high prices of the few transport options that still operate. This forces them to remain at home.
The constant power outages affect everyone, but especially those who live in tall buildings and are forced to go up and down the stairs, something that for many is simply impossible.
In Old Havana and Centro Habana, this is perceived a little less. Although they are low income areas, the elderly often have nearby places where they can go to distract themselves. We see them sitting in parks, playing chess or dominoes on any corner, sharing time as a form of silent resistance.
It would be interesting if someone conducted a study on how the current situation in Cuba has affected this vulnerable group, because there are many factors far beyond mobility that deeply impact their lives.
Family separation, food, medicines with astronomical prices. In the end.
Today's series aims to be a tribute to these brave people, who have no choice but to resist.
I hope you like the photos. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts.
Saludos, hivers.
Uno de los grupos de personas m谩s afectados por la situaci贸n actual de Cuba es el de los ancianos. Los afecta de muchas formas. Sin combustible para moverse, no pueden afrontar largas caminatas, ni tienen dinero para pagar los precios elevados de los pocos transportes que a煤n circulan. Eso los obliga a permanecer en casa.
Los apagones constantes afectan a todos, pero especialmente a quienes viven en edificios altos y est谩n obligados a subir y bajar escaleras, algo que para muchos resulta simplemente imposible.
En La Habana Vieja y Centro Habana esto se percibe un poco menos. Aunque son zonas de bajos ingresos, los ancianos suelen tener cerca algunos espacios donde distraerse. Los vemos sentados en un parque, jugando ajedrez o domin贸 en cualquier esquina, compartiendo el tiempo como una forma de resistencia silenciosa.
Ser铆a interesante que alguien realizara un estudio sobre c贸mo la situaci贸n actual de Cuba ha impactado a este grupo vulnerable, porque hay much铆simos factores que van mucho m谩s all谩 de la movilidad y los golpean profundamente.
La separaci贸n de las familias, la alimentaci贸n, las medicinas con precios astron贸micos. En fin.
La serie de hoy pretende ser un homenaje a estos valientes, que no tienen otra opci贸n que resistir.
Espero que les gusten las fotos. Los leo.
