Cuban Government: Quality and speed in each recovery action that is carried out
While the moment when Hurricane Ian passed over Cuba recedes in time, variables such as the agility and quality of each recovery action increase its value; because those affected – who must also be the architects of each step forward – await the best and most expeditious responses, to gradually erase the gigantic trail of destruction caused by a natural phenomenon that raged against the westernmost part of the Island. As in a battlefield, all the possible forces available to the country move, and they are assigned to the places hardest hit by the hurricane gusts.

Pinar del Río: Six hours that changed everything
We didn’t want to write. We were not there when Ian attacked the province of Pinar del Río with winds of more than 200 kilometers per hour; that land that saw us born and from which we can never let go.

Last Wednesday, from car to car, from stretch to stretch, we traveled about a hundred and fifty kilometers and reached Pinar del Río. Destruction, pain in people’s faces, fallen trees, houses without roofs, others on the ground.
