London, 9 August 2022- On behalf of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cuba in the UK send our deepest condolences to the Cuban people and especially those of the families of the deceased and injured in Matanzas following the incident at the tanker storage facility on Friday evening.
We are saddened to hear of the loss of life and the missing firefighters in the tragedy. We thank all of those countries which are also providing help to Cuba to contain the blaze and hope that our own government and others will follow their lead and support Cuba to recover from this terrible accident, as Cuba as always supported other countries in times of need.
Our solidarity goes out to all those affected by this tragedy and we hope that the fires will be contained soon and the healing and recovery can begin.
Grahame Morris MP
Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cuba
