Cuba is currently facing a critical electrical collapse, leaving millions of citizens without power. This systemic failure is the result of a perfect storm: aging infrastructure colliding with severe fuel restrictions imposed by the U.S. administration, forcing the population to find innovative, precarious ways to survive in the shadows.
During the prestigious 'Fête de l’Humanité' in Paris, renowned pediatrician and activist Aleida Guevara—daughter of the iconic revolutionary Che Guevara—issued a stark warning regarding the collapse of basic services in Cuba. She highlighted how extreme energy shortages, linked to U.S. sanctions, are jeopardizing neonatal health and food security across the island.
At a campaign event in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, former President Donald Trump reiterated his claim that the strategic Strait of Hormuz is now 'American territory' and jokingly threatened to 'bomb Iran a little more.' Meanwhile, the US military confirmed 68 commercial vessels have been rerouted due to the blockade, escalating tensions with Tehran.
The Trump administration intensified pressure on Cuba with new sanctions against nine state-owned companies and three ICAP leaders, while US citizens returning from the island were briefly detained in Miami. The oil blockade and energy crisis are worsening conditions on the island.
