On its Instagram account @fidelidadacuba, the solidarity organization stated that “they were there, amidst the dust and pain” when the earth shook twice—with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5—leaving a toll of 1,430 dead, more than 3,000 injured, and hundreds of collapsed structures.

It noted that “without conditions, without cameras recording their dedication, they were already there, amidst the dust and pain,” with hands that dressed wounds, voices that calmed fear, and shoulders that carried the weakest.

The Movement acknowledged that, with love and infinite generosity, the Cuban doctors cared for those affected, turning every pile of rubble into an altar of solidarity.

“They did not wait for spotlights or applause; their only guiding star was the urgent need of their fellow human beings.” Their legacy, the group emphasized, lies not in headlines but in the hearts that beat again today thanks to their commitment to the historic brotherhood between our peoples.

As an example of the Cuban personnel’s actions, the mutual solidarity group cited the Jose Maria Vargas community in Maiquetía, La Guaira state—the area hardest hit by the quakes—where they became an “unfailing bastion of support” from the afternoon of that tragic June 24th.

Without time for resting, the report noted, the Cuban doctors from the Medical Mission abandoned themselves heart and soul, “visiting every home and street to provide timely and humane medical care.”
