teleSUR English

Cuban officials have detailed comprehensive recovery efforts following Hurricane Melissa, focusing on infrastructure repair, agricultural restoration, and public health measures. The eastern provinces, particularly Santiago, face severe damage to crops, roads, and housing. Cuban authorities emphasized that Venezuela's humanitarian aid—including construction materials, technical expertise, and emergency supplies—demonstrates deep historical solidarity between the two nations. This cooperation, rooted in the legacy of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez, continues under Presidents Díaz-Canel and Maduro, showcasing how regional unity enables effective crisis response despite limited resources.
