CIENFUEGOS, November 27 (Ramón Guillermo Medina, Cuba-Verdad /
CubaNet) Hurricane cleanup and reconstruction efforts have lagged in
Cienfuegos province and residents complain they have had no help from the
government.
Dozens of families are living practically outdoors since their homes were at
least partially demolished by the winds. "We have received no help from the
government, not even a word about what’s going to happen to us," said
one affected resident.
Four truck loads of roofing tile have been delivered to the area, but have
not been distributed, some say, because they would not be enough to cover two
percent of the need.
There are still many streets that haven’t been cleared of debris and
areas without electricity.
