DONATE NOW TO THE HURRICANE MELISSA RELIEF APPEAL
The Cuba Solidarity Campaign extends its sympathy and solidarity to all those affected by Hurricane Melissa, which has devastated several Caribbean islands this week.
Cuban authorities are dealing with the immediate impact of the hurricane which has severely affected a large area across the east of the island, including second city Santiago de Cuba.
The hurricane, one of the strongest on record, tore through Cuba’s eastern region with winds of up to 120mph, and life-threatening storm surges have caused major flooding.
The full damage is yet to be evaluated, but it is clear that the hurricane will have a severe impact on the population, with potentially devastating effects on the economy.
CSC sends its solidarity to the Cuban people in the mammoth task they have ahead to rebuild their communities. We call once again for the US government to end its inhumane blockade of the country so that the Cuban people can access the building materials and equipment they will need to rebuild following this disaster.
In response, the Cuba Solidarity Campaign has launched a Hurricane Melissa relief appeal. Full details on how you can make donations to the CSC Hurricane Melissa appeal are below.
100% of all donations, apart from card processing fees, will be passed on to vital relief work in Cuba.
