Millions Without Power as Cuba Hit by Latest Major Blackout The news from Cuba is grim: millions are without power after the island nation was plunged into darkness by a major blackout, marking at least six partial or total blackouts since the start of the year.
The latest blackout is the most severe yet. Cuba's energy infrastructure is woefully outdated and relies heavily on imported fuel, making it vulnerable to external pressures.
The US blockade on oil shipments has exacerbated an already dire situation, with hospitals struggling to function, schools and government offices forced to close, and ordinary citizens facing unprecedented hardships.
