The President of the National Defense Council, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermudez, stated in Holguín that while the difficult situation created by Hurricane Melissa has been handled well, "now comes the longest and most complex stage: recovery."
The Frank País International Airport in Holguín resumed operations smoothly after Hurricane Melissa, a category three storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale, passed through eastern Cuba, causing no severe damage to the facility.
With the reopening of daycare centers, semi-boarding schools, and schools that were not affected by the passage of the Hurricane Melissa through eastern Cuba, the 2025-2026 school year resumes this Wednesday in the province of Holguín.
Water resource specialists in Holguín are working to restore water supply systems damaged by flooding and winds following Hurricane Melissa, which struck eastern Cuba early Wednesday morning.
