epa10886579 Marta Travieso poses during an interview with EFE outside her house near La Coloma, province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, 27 September 2023. Travieso, 74, complains her house remains without a roof since Hurricane Ian swept the area. Hurricane Ian made landfall on western Cuba on 27 September 2022 as a high-end Category 3 hurricane and considered the strongest tropical cyclone to impact Pinar del Rio Province since Hurricane Gustav in 2008. According to figures from the Ministry of Construction, after one year only 43 percent of the more than 100,000 homes damaged by Ian have been recovered, and of the 12,805 total collapses, only 427 (three percent) have been lifted back.
