The Bridges of Love project expressed Thursday from the United States its solidarity with the families of those who died during the collapse of a multi-family building in Havana, Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We offer our willingness to help our people at every moment, especially in times of difficulty,” activist Carlos Lazo, coordinator of the group, told Prensa Latina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cuban professor based in Seattle explained via WhatsApp that in just two hours, through an Internet initiative, members of “the patriotic emigration donated $610 to the channel, which will be used to help the victims” of this tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lazo highlighted the value of the actions and the speed with which everyone responded when they learned of what had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early morning of October 4, a building located on Lamparilla Street, in the capital’s municipality of Old Havana, collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Cuban Interior Ministry authorities, 13 families lived in the building, with 54 people who were evacuated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A first collapse was followed in a short time by a second collapse that surprised the firefighters working at the site, which caused two rescuers to lose their lives when they were buried by the rubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On his X account, formerly Twitter, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel expressed his sorrow for the death of two young rescuers during rescue work after the tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Very painful to confirm the death of two young rescuers while assisting those affected in the collapse of a building in Old Havana: Yoandra and Luis Alejandro,” wrote the Cuban president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deceased were identified as Yoandra Suarez, 40, a rescue and salvage technician, and Luis Alejandro Llerena, 23, a professional rescuer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
