It goog to hear so much news about the help Haiti got from so many countries, Israel, England and all of Europe, the USA, Canada and even little Jamaica but no one remember that Cuba is also helping in possible the biggest way with what little resources they have(due to the long embargo) but I know GOD will continue to bless that little nation, HE has kept them going against all odds and I know they will rise to be great and be recognized by all
Let me say Thanks to all the countries that are helping so graeatly and let me (also) say thanks to the PEOPLE OF CUBA for helping our brother and sisters in Haiti your good work has been recognized by all those WITH A HEART…………………Horace Kirlew

Many Haitians emigrated to Cuba after Castro took power. Cuba was a refuge for them.

Cuba is always overlooked for what they do and have done to help people in general. Their work in this world goes far beyond that of the Untited States when you compare the size. The Cubans many times do not have a political reason for helping as the United States must. Although they are poor and things are hard to get in Cuba they have their priorities in line with what is right. People there can go see a doctor and not be afraid of losing everything if they are sick and need more care. People are treated like people and not rich people and poor people like the US. Their response in Haiti and the lack of any coverage on what they have done is not surprising but par for the course. As time goes by I become more and more embaressed to be a US citizen.

What happens when boatloads of Haitians arrive on Cuba’s shores? Is this happening yet?

My heart goes out for the people of Haiti. But could this had been an artificial Earthquake designed in form of a natural disaster. Could Cuba have been the actual target?? Research Chemtrails and HAARP project/technology.

JH Colson. That is what is occuring the CARICOM countries of the Carribean (mainly the English speaking islands) are joining together to give assistance.

Okay, boys and girls. Play nice on this message board. Sarcasm and bad-mouthing detracts from the dialog. I hope more of Haiti’s Caribbean close neighbors are able to get boots on the ground. People are trapped in the rubble. Many desperately need medical care. It is good to see individuals and governments across the entire political spectrum respond to this terrible crisis in Haiti. This is a time for pan-Caribbean assistance. Cuba’s emergency medical teams are renown for their skills. (Yes, I remember they were ready to send in teams to assist post-Katrina). The more medical teams and supplies that can get in there, the better. The Chinese were among the first foreign response teams to arrive. I’d even like to see cruise ships in the area diverted to Haiti. In an emergency like this, you can’t wait for ‘official’ organizations to make the move. Naturally, American media will cover the American effort and contribution. Just as France covers French efforts, etc.

What Americans should know Cuba offered help when Katrina struck New Orleans but Bush brushed them off . Cuba has been at the fore front usually first and sometimes alone during most disasters and yet lies are spread by the Corporate media in the USA and Yes in Canada. We are getting so damn sick of Corporate Greed and and the Murdock scum of this world. He should go back to Australia but then they probably are glad to be rid of this jerk.

Michael Everett: No, this quake did not adversely affect Cuba. The eastern coastal city of Baracoa was evacuated (30,000 people moved in a matter of hours) in anticipation of a possible tsunami, which did not occur. Cuba felt the quake, but suffered no damage.
