00:06to monitor progress in the recovery efforts following Hurricane Melissa.

00:10The Cuban president traveled through the provinces of Santiago de Cuba, Granma and Holguín

00:16to monitor the recovery efforts and also supervise the comprehensive care provided to affected families.

00:22In this context, the head of state emphasized that despite the damage to dozens of homes,

00:28there were no loses of life to regret.

00:44and that the revolution moved forward in its efforts to address their present situation

00:58And from the Cuban province of Granma, President Díaz Canel noted the progress made in the

01:03restoration of the electric service, which has been 96% completed.

01:08I believe that in any case there has been a significant recovery after 21 days since the hurricane

01:16passed.

01:17At what percentage of electricity recovery is that the province now?

01:2196% in just 21 days, when there were areas here that were severely affected by the winds

01:27and the flooding, especially in the mountain areas.

01:30Also in this context, while visiting Olguin, the head of state highlighted the solidarity among

01:36Cubans who have stepped up the help in the affected provinces.

01:45Donations are arriving from international organizations, donations from friendly countries, and many people

01:52have also organized collections.

01:54There is also a group of donations that the state is distributing, which cannot all be delivered

02:01at once, but little by little and above all, the solidarity among everyone, and we must

02:06acknowledge the way the population behaved if you had not followed the guidelines issued by

02:12the Zone Defense Council.

02:14Today we would be mourning loss of life.
