https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/05/americas/cuba-us-oil-blockade-electricity-creativity-intl-latam
9/5/26How to conserve cellphone battery when recharging options are scarce; how to preserve food when the fridge isn’t working; how to cope with the heat when air-conditioners aren’t an option; how to generate power when the whole country has almost none left.
These are the sort of tutorials that have made the Instagram feed of influencer Dayán Marrero indispensable to many Cubans as they try to adapt to the rolling electricity blackouts and fuel shortages that are increasingly part of everyday life...
As the #US-imposed #oil #blockade that is worsening the situation bites ever deeper, Marrero and his compatriots are having to get creative. Farmers pasteurize milk over charcoal fires; commuters ride solar-powered Chinese tricycles; tour guides grind coffee by hand...

Goodwill or Good Marketing? The Contradiction Of U.S. Aid To Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/rWJbEPAx1eMn65mGQYNmku
Duration - 12:08[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
The #US announced $100 million in humanitarian aid to Cuba, some of which is now being distributed to vulnerable families through the CatholicChurch.
So we went to #Bejucal, one of the towns where the aid first arrived.
In a town of 22,000 people, the Church delivered 380 boxes of aid. Those who received it expressed their gratitude. But there is a stark contradiction at the heart of the US aid effort: Washington is offering relief from a crisis its own policies have brought about.

#Trump’s Sanctions Disrupt #UNICEF Aid for #Pregnant #Women and Newborns

June 26, 2026“We’re not only being affected by the restrictions themselves, but what we call over-compliance,” said Pichón.
Banks, insurers, shipping companies and logistics providers have become so afraid of violating #US sanctions that they often refuse to work with #UN agencies trying to get #humanitarian aid to Cuba. Even when shipments arrive, fuel shortages in Cuba generated by the US oil #blockade hamper aid distribution.

Video - Statements of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba at the #UN Security Council
https://peertube.world/w/68V7f77vCxVxwLiLNxuxtz
Duration - 1:09[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
At the #UNSecurityCouncil, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs #BrunoRodriguez called on the international community to act to prevent the “human catastrophe” that could result from the ongoing energy #blockade and potential #US #military aggression.
Thousands of Cubans would die defending their homeland,” he said. “And young US citizens would also perish, without a cause or ideal worth fighting for, dragged into violence by an #imperialist, neofascist policy of domination, plunder and conquest.”

Video - From Miami to Havana: Why This Cuban American Is Speaking Out
https://peertube.world/w/j3V8K63g6adySjvVGwLEmu[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Cuban-American politicians have long been a driving force behind the US government’s #EconomicWar on the island. But many people of Cuban origin living in the US reject the hard-line policies that have ravaged the island’s economy and caused widespread scarcities and hardship.
Danny Valdes, a Cuban American born in #Miami, recently visited Cuba with the #NuestraAméricaConvoy to help bring #HumanitarianAid to the island.
“There is a very well organized and powerful right wing Cuban lobby, that even is in the halls of the Congress that gets to determine what #US policy is toward Cuba,” said Valdés. “But we feel like it's a very important time now to say, not in our name.”

Caribbean countries pledge humanitarian support for Cuba amid rising tensions with US
Disagreement among Caricom members hampers unified response on Cuban sovereignty and US intervention in the region

Feb. 28, 2026At the opening of the conference there were calls for dialogue to de-escalate the tensions between Cuba and the #US, with Jamaica’s prime minister Andrew Holness raising concerns about the “severe economic hardship, energy shortages and growing humanitarian strain” and its potential consequences on the wider region.
On Friday, the chair of #Caricom, St Kitts and Nevis prime minister, Terrance Drew, said that the 15-country bloc will be responding “in a significant way to help the humanitarian situation in #Cuba” within a month.
