How Cuba Survived a Massive Hurricane With Zero Deaths

Johana Tablada de la Torre, Deputy Director of U.S. Affairs at Cuba’s Foreign Ministry, joins the show as Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest ever in the Atlantic, pounds the Caribbean, as Cuba reels from shortages caused by the genocidal U.S. economic blockade.

She discusses Cuba’s massive evacuations and disaster preparedness, the island’s efforts to protect human life, and the global push to condemn the 63-year blockade, as 165 nations at the U.N. once again isolate the U.S. for its policy of starvation and deprivation.

Cuba just survived one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded — with zero deaths.

“The number one priority of our preparedness system is to save life,” says @JohanaTablada, even as the U.S. blockade makes recovery harder every step of the way.
