Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel has urged the US to end its blockade on the entry of oil. The restrictions have contributed to widespread fuel shortages across the country. Officials have reported blackouts and reduced public services linked to the lack of fuel.
The energy shortages have affected hospitals, transportation and industrial operations. The call for the US to lift the restrictions comes as the country faces mounting economic pressure from the prolonged energy crisis. Cuba imports most of its oil and has struggled to secure sufficient supplies.
The UN has highlighted the deepening impact on the population. Humanitarian conditions have deteriorated with reduced access to electricity and essential services. Al Jazeera’s Julide Ayger provided reporting on the situation. The coverage examined both the energy shortages and the humanitarian effects.
The US maintains its restrictions on Cuba citing longstanding policy differences. No immediate response from the US to the latest appeal has been reported.
