US warns on Cuba health amid sanctions
The U.S. Embassy in Havana warns of a sharp increase in cases of gastrointestinal diseases and diarrhea in Cuba due to the deterioration of water and electricity supplies, amid the ongoing fuel blockade imposed by the Trump administration for nine months. This exacerbates the health crisis affecting people's safety and their right to food and health, as residents notice a rise in symptoms associated with the breakdown of refrigeration and sanitation systems. The United Nations states that the blockade violates international law and heightens the risk of disease outbreaks, while the U.S. administration considers the sanctions necessary to force the Cuban government to change, despite criticisms and worsening humanitarian effects.
