Melissa struck with fury. We respond with solidarity.At the end of October, Hurricane Melissa tore through eastern Cuba as a Category 4 storm with winds reaching 135 mph. Entire provinces—Santiago de Cuba, Holguín, Granma, and Guantánamo—are devastated. Families are displaced, homes destroyed, clinics overwhelmed. Yet not a single life was lost thanks to Cuba’s evacuation of 700,000 people. The storm has passed, but the emergency has only begun: housing reconstruction, potable water, essential food, and medicine are urgently needed.This is not just a natural disaster. It is a rupture in an already fragile system. Decades of blockade and sanctions left Cuba’s hospitals short on sutures, antibiotics, and basic wound care. Now, they face a surge of trauma patients with no supplies to treat them, while communities risk dehydration and waterborne illness.
