US-imposed energy blockade leaves Cuba facing fuel shortages and power outages
Cuba is experiencing severe fuel shortages and widespread power outages as a result of a US energy blockade targeting oil shipments to the island.
Cuba is currently facing an acute energy shortage caused by a US‑imposed fuel blockade that has restricted oil imports, primarily from Venezuela but also affecting deliveries from other suppliers. The blockade, justified by the US government as a means to exert pressure for political change, has led to crippling fuel shortages, rolling blackouts, and disruption of transport and basic services across the island. The situation has intensified social hardship and economic instability, significantly impacting daily life and key sectors such as healthcare and tourism.
