Cuba is facing worsening hardship four months into a US oil blockade, with prolonged power cuts, fuel shortages and soaring living costs disrupting daily life.
Residents in Havana report days without electricity, water shortages, sleepless nights and growing public frustration. The state power company is struggling to maintain supply, while sanctions and economic pressure have deepened the crisis. Tourism, energy and other sectors continue to suffer across the nation.
Meanwhile, a ship laden with 1,700 tonnes of food and aid collected in Mexico and Belize has docked in Cuba.
