Havana, June 16 (RHC) -- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel, verified today in Camagüey the recovery actions after the heavy rains of the last few days, and went to the community of Nadales, where he learned about the attention to the victims.
While talking with some of the neighbors, they expressed their trust and gratitude for the concern of the country's top leadership to respond to the damages caused by the recent floods, according to Alex López Almaguer, Cuban television correspondent, published in his Facebook profile.
The neighborhood, located in the extension of Palma Street, where the Hatibonico and Tínima rivers meet, belonging to the 44th district of the Previsora Popular Council, reported 58 damages to houses, including six total collapses, and a considerable number of deteriorated mattresses.
More than 300 locals took shelter in that place, where the fury of the currents caused the water to reach levels never seen before, before which specialists of the housing system and social workers evaluate the solutions to the different cases.
There has been intense work on the part of companies, organizations and institutions before, during and after the phenomenon.
Previously, Díaz-Canel participated today in this city in an act of recognition to young students, workers and combatants who have excelled in the recovery work underway in the vast territory.
The President also held a meeting at the headquarters of the Provincial Committee of the PCC with authorities of the region and directors of the most affected sectors after the heavy rains, in which he was updated on how the recovery work is progressing.
The Cuban leader was accompanied by Roberto Morales Ojeda, member of the Political Bureau and Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the PCC; Federico Hernández Hernández, First Secretary of the political organization in Camagüey; and Jorge Enrique Sutil Sarabia, Governor.
In the capital city of Agramontina, the two large rivers (Hatibonico and Tínima) and several streams that cross it, overflowed at dawn on Thursday 8 of this month, due to the significant accumulated rainfall recorded in the demarcation.
Damages after the impact of the hydrometeorological event are mainly concentrated in the sectors of housing, agriculture, education, some stretches of roads, the electrical system, hydraulic infrastructure and communications (Source: ACN). (Source: ACN)
