UN Experts Warn US Sanctions Are Deepening Cuba's Humanitarian Crisis
Independent UN human rights experts have warned that expanded US sanctions, including an effective oil blockade, are pushing Cuba into a full-blown humanitarian crisis. These measures have worsened shortages of food, medicine, and fuel, disrupted essential services, and caused widespread power outages, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups. The experts urged the international community to act swiftly to prevent further deterioration, highlighting risks of food insecurity, health threats, and increased disease due to uncollected waste in Havana.
