After the devastating passage of Hurricane Oscar through eastern Cuba, recovery efforts continue, and on Thursday access to the municipality of Imías in Guantánamo was restored through an alternative route.
According to the official journalist Miguel Reyes on his Facebook page "Miguel Noticias", the brigades managed to create a passage to the community, which had remained cut off by land after the severe damage caused by the storm in that area.
Reyes stated that his source, Erislandy Romero, learned that "a detour was made from San Antonio that connects with Macambo, although reinforcement work continues."
"This is the San Antonio detour that connects with Macambo, almost finished. It already has a route, and they are putting down hard material over the gravel, and they are about to start work on the Yacabo Abajo bridge," the communicator published.
Hours earlier, the local newspaper Venceremos reported on "an air operation for the transport of food towards Imías," something that seems to have already been resolved after intense work.
Hurricane Oscar, which made landfall in Cuba on October 20, has left a trail of destruction in the easternmost province of the island.
With a preliminary toll of seven deceased, the situation remains critical, especially in the municipalities of San Antonio del Sur and Imías, which suffered unprecedented flooding.
On social media, many people have called on the authorities for the lack of information following the impact of the cyclone in both municipalities, worried about their relatives living in those areas.
Likewise, many people have claimed that the lack of electricity during the energy crisis in the country left many locals barely aware of the imminent passage of the hurricane through the region.
