Cubans struggle to survive as dwindling rations leave families hungry

Cuba’s economy is struggling after years of US sanctions.
Inflation has been a persistent problem made worse by Washington's recent fuel blockade, which has triggered an energy crisis.
The island nation imports up to 80 percent of its food - a cost the government has trouble sustaining.
The average monthly salary is between 12 and 16 dollars. For context, a tray of 30 eggs costs 6 dollars.
Most people rely on the state's ration system for food, but it is also under strain.
