Cuba's energy crisis brings prolonged blackouts, fuel and water shortages
Cuba is experiencing a deepening energy crisis, with power cuts lasting more than 24 hours in some areas and fuel and water shortages disrupting daily life. The outages also affect transport and phone services, and a doctor reports that residents are losing hope.
Cuba is enduring a growing crisis marked by prolonged power cuts, fuel shortages and water scarcity that are disrupting daily life for millions of people. In some areas, blackouts now last more than 24 hours, and the outages have also disrupted water supplies, transport and phone services, according to the original reporting.
The crisis is taking a toll on mental health, with many residents struggling to see when conditions will improve. Dr Yomeidis Felicó Riverón, a primary-care doctor, said some patients come to her just to cry and talk about their problems. “Before there was hope. Right now, what people have lost is exactly that,” she told the reporter.
The electricity crisis is at the centre of Cuba's problems, and the country's power system is struggling to cope, the report said.
