Cuba forced to paralyse economy' amid desperate energy crisis
Briefly

Millions of Cubans are facing difficult conditions, enduring up to 12-hour blackouts, as the government paralyzes all non-vital services to address the ongoing energy crisis.
Prime Minister Marrero stated that the energy shortfall stems from a 'perfect storm' of factors including deteriorating infrastructure, rising demand, and significant fuel shortages.
President Miguel Diaz-Canel attributed the ongoing energy issues to U.S. sanctions, which he claims hinder Cuba's ability to import necessary fuel and resources.
Despite the challenging circumstances, PM Marrero reassured that Cuba isn't 'yet in a bottomless abyss,' although many areas experience blackouts lasting up to 18 hours.
