Little Cayman - above and below

Cuban Refugees

Over the past year, the number of Cuban refugees arriving on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac has grown enormously. Last month we had approximately 7 boats and 60 Cuban citizens arrive in the south sound of Little Cayman.
The boats are mostly handmade, overcrowded and offer little shelter to the occupants.
Most say they are in transit to Honduras, so water and fuel is offered, but some of the boats have become non-seaworthy and the people must be flown back to Cuba. None of the refugees are able to remain in the Caymans.
