Cuba: 90% of major city's churches damaged by Hurricane Sandy
12 / 15 / 2012

Seven weeks after Hurricane Sandy ravaged Cuba, hundreds of thousands of
residents remain homeless, according to Bishop Luis del Castillo
Estrada, a Uruguayan Jesuit bishop who has served as a missionary in
Cuba since his retirement.

The dioceses of Uruguay are providing financial support to assist those
left homeless.

The prelate added that 90% of the churches around Santiago de Cuba, the
nation's second-largest city, have suffered damage, including the
National Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Charity.
