CAMAGÜEY.- The recuperative process of the housing of Camagüey, with 16,000 square kilometers, after the passage of Hurricane Irma, shows considerable progress today with the rehabilitation of 9,400 homes.

The province, hit by the meteorological phenomenon on September 9, 2017, was affected mainly in the municipalities to the north, Minas, Sierra de Cubitas, Esmeralda and Nuevitas, where 34 communities have been intervened for the benefit of hundreds of families.

The government in the territory has built more than 1,000 homes, and also has in Nuevitas a project of petrocasas, a design of homes ready to withstand hurricanes that hit the Caribbean region in the last months of the year.

In a recent tour of the authorities of the territory, along with the Army Corps General of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba, Ramón Espinosa, the inhabitants of devastated communities thanked the support to those affected.

Among the most affected sites is Playa Florida, in the south of the region; a fishing village that was moved to a new settlement with the guarantee of an infrastructure that includes a pharmacy, doctor's office, school and shops for the sale of food and household supplies.

'Thanks to the Revolution for not leaving us helpless, and today despite being a little further from the sea, we can continue in our work and with better houses,' Arnaldo Hernández, a 58-year-old fisherman, a worker at the port of that locality, told Prensa Latina.
