Havana, October 26 (RHC) -- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel, evaluated this Friday the recovery process in the municipalities of Guantanamo affected by Hurricane Oscar.

At the meeting, it was reported that the province will continue to be impacted by ongoing rains in the coming days, for which reason it was indicated to keep the systems on alert, and to evacuate all people in danger zones.

Authorities of the Guantanamo Defense Council reported on the work being undertaken to restore the electrical service, a process also affected by the recent rains.

The meeting also analyzed the panic situation created by false news regarding an alleged rupture of the dam in the municipality of San Antonio del Sur, as reported by the Presidency of the Republic in X.

In this regard, Deputy Prime Minister Inés María Chapman explained that the situation was under control and the Ministry of the Interior is conducting the relevant investigations.

The hydrometeorological phenomenon that crossed the east of the country with a category 1 hurricane, left a balance of seven fatalities and considerable material damage.

It also caused significant rains in the eastern and central provinces for several days.

The day before, the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) brought food and provisions to the territories that are still isolated by land in the easternmost province of Cuba.

Medicines and other supplies were also brought to the territory, with more than 28 thousand inhabitants, in several ongoing operations.  (Source: Prensa Latina)
