“Los Benavides” street in Luyano, Havana 1996. “El período especial”… no more Soviet Union, no more economical assistance. This meant tough times for the Cubans.
the toughest times were between 1992 and 1999 when Venezuela came to saved us but it is still pretty tough, this picture proves the failure of our economic system.
You are right.. this was on an almost starving level! As far as I hear (last time I was there was in 2008) the situation is not dramatically better today!
