Canada Plans Aid as Cuba Faces Fuel Shortages Amid U.S. Blockade

Cuba is facing a severe fuel shortage, leading to widespread power outages and economic hardship for its 11 million residents. The crisis has been intensified by a U.S. petroleum blockade that has restricted oil shipments, with authorities intercepting fuel deliveries and tankers diverting. In response, Canada announced plans to assist Cuba, collaborating with Mexico, which recently sent humanitarian supplies. The situation poses significant challenges to Cuba's energy security and social stability.
