Cuba's Energy Crisis: Six Months into US Oil Blockade
After six months of intensified US pressure on countries supplying oil to Cuba, the island faces a deepening energy crisis. The blockade has caused power outages, disrupted transport, and hindered food production, with the most vulnerable sectors of society bearing the brunt. The UN and willing governments should establish a fuel corridor to prevent a humanitarian disaster, while Cuba works on diversifying its energy sources and building a more resilient system. The Global South should defend Cuba's right to trade freely and oppose extraterritorial coercion.3 sourcesSee all sources
