Cubans endure power cuts and fuel shortages amid US blockade

Cuba is facing severe power and fuel shortages as the United States tightens its decades-old embargo. The island has been enduring rolling blackouts and a near-total fuel blockade now in its fourth month, forcing residents to cook with charcoal and queue for hours in sweltering heat for scarce transport. State-controlled economy struggles have been aggravated by more than six decades of US trade and financial sanctions, leaving cities like Alamar in darkness and many Cubans spending more time waiting for buses than at work.
