Cuban-American singer and songwriter Camila Cabello asked her followers on Friday to support the work of the Catholic Church’s social services in Cuba, just when the island is going through a humanitarian crisis.
“Many people are starving, looking for food in the garbage dumps, and the only way to survive is for their relatives to send them boxes of medicine, because not even the hospitals have medicine,” Cabello wrote in an X message in which he asks for support for the inhabitants of the island.
The ‘I Have Questions’ singer has asked the public to help Cubans who are “in the midst of a deep humanitarian crisis,” through Caritas Cuba, an organization that belongs to the Catholic Church. “Any donation makes a difference,” he added.
In her request, the singer shared some photos from when she was studying in Havana, sent to her by her grandmother, as she explained on social networks.
The 28-year-old artist took advantage of her message to criticize the imprisonment of protesters: “It has been 67 years of a failed dictatorship and an oppressive regime. The Cuban people suffer in an echo chamber where no one can hear them, because to speak is to risk one’s life,” she stressed.
Cabello explained that he still has relatives on the island with whom he talks and sends medicine, food and clothing.
The singer and songwriter, known for her solo career and her time with Fifth Harmony, said she felt “a personal responsibility” to speak out about what is happening in Cuba.
The Cuban-American also noted her rejection of immigration raids in the U.S., which she described as “heartbreaking experiences,” reported Agencia EFE.
