Relief and solidarity reach hurricane victims in eastern Cuba

GUANTÁNAMO, Cuba, Nov 12 (ACN) Rafael Lores, director of the Provincial Housing Company, delivered a valuable cargo of supplies―namely clothes, footwear, bed sheets, towels and other essential items―for the victims of Hurricane Oscar in the worst-hit municipality of Imías.

Around twenty other donations have already arrived in the region, including 45 family tents sent by the World Food Program to those who lost their homes and cooking oil, disposable diapers, light bulbs, clothes and footwear provided by the SME Comerciarte, one of the first to lend a hand.

Likewise, networks, individuals, SMEs, projects and enterprises from nearby and other provinces sent clothes, cooking utensils, toiletries, toys and foodstuffs, and some even organized cultural performances in one of the affected communities.

Priority is given to the most vulnerable people, including small children, bedridden persons, and mothers with three or more children, as well as families whose homes collapsed.
