The 253 Haitians (161 men, 61 women and 31 children) who were traveling to the United States, finally arrived at the port of Kasasa, in Cayo Coco, north of Ciego Ávila (Cuba) After the incident, Governor Tomás Alexis Martín Venegas and Lieutenant Governor Ania Francisco Malde, organized their temporary stay in an educational center in Manuel Suárez province (Ceballos 7), where the 253 Haitians received dignified medical care, solidarity and help from Cuba. A group of specialists from the Cuban Red Cross also mobilized to prepare the place, make the beds, distribute toilets, food and basic necessities and give care to those who needed it. In an irregular migratory situation, they will be repatriated to Haiti.
