Basque humanitarian aid for Cuban hospitals

Overview

Basque solidarity initiatives continue to provide humanitarian aid to Cuban healthcare facilities to combat energy shortages. In early August, a campaign in Legazpi raised €12,332 to fund electricity for the William Soler Pediatric University Hospital in Havana. This effort, titled “Legazpitik argia Kubara” (“From Legazpi, Light for Cuba”), was managed by the nonprofit Euskadi-Cuba and follows previous fundraising that provided solar photovoltaic systems to the hospital’s polyclinic.

By late August, solidarity campaigns expanded to the Aste Nagusia festival in Bilbao under the initiative ‘Argia eta Indarra Kubarentzat. Contra el Bloqueo, Energía para Cuba’. Building on previous efforts that raised nearly €245,000 for solar installations at the William Soler Pediatric Hospital, this new phase focuses on acquiring solar panels for the hospital’s Cardiocentro.
