Cuba's Power Grid 'Critical' as US Blocks Fuel Shipments The recent protests in Havana, where hundreds took to the streets demanding an end to power outages, highlighted the dire situation in Cuba.
The country's energy minister, Vicente de la O Levy, has warned that the power grid is at a "critical" state due to a four month US blockade on fuel shipments.
This crisis stems from a broader pattern of economic warfare waged by the United States against Cuba.
