Havana, Oct 5 (RHC) Cuba continues with recovery efforts after the passage of Hurricane Ian, which caused severe damage to housing, agriculture, and electricity services in the west of the country.

 

According to President Miguel Díaz-Canel, "there is still much to be done for life to return to normal in Pinar del Río and part of Artemisa, but recovery is unstoppable and everything will have to be better".

 

During a meeting held the day before to evaluate the situation in the territories affected in the west by the hurricane, the president said that the focus of all actions must be the attention to people, families, and communities, according to the Cuban Presidency on its website.

 

He also stressed the importance of direct contact between the leaders with the population and urged to speed up the distribution of resources for the victims.

 

Díaz-Canel stressed the need to maintain and increase the points of sale of processed food, with the incorporation of workplaces that have kitchens.

 

He also called to continue the process of tree pruning and sanitation works in all provinces since this is not the end of hurricane season which lasts until November 30.

 

On the other hand, the Minister of Domestic Trade Betsy Díaz announced on the TV and radio program Mesa Redonda that the territories hit by the hurricane will receive food modules for all consumers as of October 6. (Source: PL)
