People are cleaning up the damage caused by Hurricane Oscar in Cuba. More than 66,000 people are evacuated in Cuba's easternmost province Guantanamo, ahead of heavy rains that threaten a region already badly hit by Hurricane Oscar. The majority of evacuees are in the municipalities San Antonio del Sur and Imias, where Oscar caused historic flooding and killed eight people a fortnight ago.

According to official figures, more than 12,000 homes, as well as roads and almost 20,000 hectares of crops, mainly coffee were damaged by the storm.
