Cuba’s director of housing, Vivian Rodríguez, said earlier this month that the island has a housing deficit of 800,000 homes, especially in the provinces of Havana, Holguín, Santiago de Cuba and �䲹������ü���.

A neighbor from the city of Nuevitas, in the central province of �䲹������ü���, told the Miami Herald that in February, 17-year-old Leidy Bacallao went to a local police station asking for help after several threats from her ex-partner, 50-year-old Elesván Hidalgo.

On Dec. 7, 2022, he had to break down the door of the house where his sister lived in �䲹������ü��� and where he found her lifeless on the kitchen floor.

The sentencing document from the People’s Provincial Court of �䲹������ü��� reviewed by the Herald said that Alonso “inflicted several blows on various points” of her body and, using three different knives, “dealt several stab wounds” to her chest and neck, causing her death.

In Cuba's eastern province of Camaguey, for example, 68% of 181 approved private businesses were not yet producing as of November 2022, according to a report in provincial state-run media outlet Adelante.
