U.S. Blockade Extending Fuel Shortage
Cuba is facing an escalating fuel crisis due to the tightening of U.S. sanctions on the transportation and energy sectors, which has led to a severe shortage of gasoline supplies and an increased reliance on low-cost means of transportation, such as three-wheeled vehicles. Additionally, the black market has spread, with prices rising sharply. The U.S. sanctions, which have exceeded 250 measures since the beginning of the year, have caused a decline in oil imports from Venezuela. The country needs about 125,000 barrels of oil daily to meet its demands, relying on Venezuela for 70% of its need. The crisis has worsened with the entanglement of political conflicts in Venezuela, a key supporter and energy supplier, alongside ongoing U.S. sanctions. This situation deepens the living hardships of the population and leads to disruptions in the economic and humanitarian sectors.
