Cuba Runs Out of Diesel and Fuel Oil Amid Critical Energy Crisis
Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy warns of an extremely tense situation as a US-led blockade contributes to widespread power cuts across the island
Cuba has completely exhausted its supplies of diesel and fuel oil, according to Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy. In a recent interview with state-run media, de la O Levy described the nation's energy system as being in a critical state. While he noted that limited amounts of gas remain available, the overall fuel shortage has severely impacted the country's ability to generate power and maintain basic infrastructure.[1][2]
The minister characterized the current situation as extremely tense and attributed the fuel depletion to a US-led blockade targeting oil shipments to the island. This blockade has hindered the arrival of necessary energy resources, leading to widespread power cuts that have affected residents across the country. The government continues to monitor the dwindling reserves as the energy crisis persists, with the minister highlighting the external pressures on the nation's fuel supply.[1][2]
