A 60-year-old man tragically lost his life early Sunday morning in Santiago de Cuba when his home was destroyed by a landslide triggered by the heavy rainfall pounding the eastern region.
His wife, an elderly woman with hearing impairments, survived the incident and was relocated to a safe location, Arias reported.
This tragedy occurs amid ongoing heavy rains that have resulted in floods, river overflows, and landslides across Santiago de Cuba and other eastern provinces due to Tropical Storm Imelda.
In a separate incident, unrelated to the tropical storm, another fatal collapse occurred Sunday morning in Old Havana.
A building on Sol Street #466, between Egido and Villegas, collapsed at 9 a.m., as reported by the Old Havana Administrative Council on Facebook.
