\n O furac\u00e3o Melissa causou danos graves ao santu\u00e1rio cubano de Nossa Senhora da Caridade de El Cobre. \/ Cr\u00e9dito: Cortesia da Diocese de Cienfuegos<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

Equipe da ACI Prensa, 31 de outubro de 2025 \/ 16:48 (CNA).<\/p>\n

A passagem do furac\u00e3o Melissa deixou um rastro de destrui\u00e7\u00e3o em Cuba, danificando significativamente a Bas\u00edlica de Nossa Senhora da Caridade de El Cobre, padroeira do pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

O furac\u00e3o atingiu Cuba em 29 de outubro \u00e0s 3h05, atingindo a \u00e1rea de Guam\u00e1, na prov\u00edncia de Santiago de Cuba, como um furac\u00e3o de categoria 3 com ventos sustentados de 193 km\/h, afetando principalmente a parte oriental do pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

A cidade de El Cobre, localizada no sop\u00e9 das montanhas da Sierra del Cobre, a cerca de 19 quil\u00f4metros a oeste da cidade de Santiago de Cuba, foi uma das \u00e1reas mais atingidas.<\/p>\n

O Padre Rogelio Dean, reitor do santu\u00e1rio, disse on Facebook<\/a> que durante o furac\u00e3o houve \u201cmomentos extremamente tensos, estressantes e preocupantes\u201d. Falando em nome da comunidade, o sacerdote explicou que \u201celes nunca tinham visto nada parecido\u201d.<\/p>\n

Em rela\u00e7\u00e3o aos danos \u00e0 igreja, Dean explicou que Melissa \u201cdestruiu o santu\u00e1rio... alguns vitrais est\u00e3o infelizmente danificados. A \u00e1gua entrou e, bem, tem sido um momento muito dif\u00edcil\u201d.<\/p>\n

Apesar das medidas de precau\u00e7\u00e3o, como a montagem de estruturas de alum\u00ednio para proteger os vitrais, \u201ceste furac\u00e3o arrancou alvenaria das paredes\u201d. <\/p>\n

\"O
O Santu\u00e1rio de Nossa Senhora de El Cobre est\u00e1 localizado na \u00e1rea da ilha mais atingida pelo furac\u00e3o Melissa. Cr\u00e9dito: Cortesia da Diocese de Cienfuegos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Quanto \u00e0s consequ\u00eancias para a popula\u00e7\u00e3o, o sacerdote observou que, ao fazer suas rondas, observou que \u201cas pessoas perderam praticamente tudo. Estamos vivendo uma situa\u00e7\u00e3o muito dolorosa agora. Muito, muito dolorosa\u201d.<\/p>\n

Al\u00e9m disso, <\/strong>Caritas Cuba na quarta-feira.<\/a> o transbordamento de rios locais ap\u00f3s o furac\u00e3o, inundando uma alta porcentagem de casas e institui\u00e7\u00f5es na regi\u00e3o leste.<\/p>\n

Diante desta emerg\u00eancia, Dean apelou \u00e0 sociedade e \u00e0s institui\u00e7\u00f5es para que \u201cvoltem a sua aten\u00e7\u00e3o para o leste de Cuba neste momento\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEstamos ativando a C\u00e1ritas paroquial para fornecer alimentos, que \u00e9 o que podemos fazer no momento. Obviamente, ainda n\u00e3o temos eletricidade\u201d, explicou o sacerdote.<\/p>\n

A Confer\u00eancia dos Bispos Cat\u00f3licos de Cuba chamou o impacto de Melissa de \u201cuma cat\u00e1strofe de enormes propor\u00e7\u00f5es<\/a>\u201d e observou que este desastre se soma \u201c\u00e0 j\u00e1 dif\u00edcil realidade cotidiana do nosso povo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Os prelados pediram \u201cde tudo\u201d para as v\u00edtimas: comida, roupas, colch\u00f5es, utens\u00edlios dom\u00e9sticos e abrigo, \u201cespecialmente para os muitos idosos que vivem sozinhos e todos aqueles que est\u00e3o naturalmente vivendo este momento com tristeza e des\u00e2nimo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Finalmente, apelaram \u00e0 solidariedade \u201cdos cubanos em outras partes do mundo e em todo o pa\u00eds, a todos aqueles que, com boa vontade, querem e podem nos ajudar\u201d.<\/p>\n
