Unthinkable till just lately, scenes of starvation are being repeated throughout Cuba as meals runs low in state-controlled retailers.
After seizing Venezuela’s revolutionary socialist ruler Nicolás Maduro in a commando raid final month, the Trump administration is making an attempt to deliver Cuba to its knees by forcing its few remaining allies to chop off gas provides.
Queues of vehicles snake alongside the streets as drivers look ahead to hours to replenish. Airlines have been informed there isn’t a extra kerosene for his or her planes and garbage piles up within the streets as a result of refuse vans lack gas to gather it.
Diplomats and UN officers on the island worry the outbreak of epidemics and the unfold of starvation. ‘The Americans are intentionally making a humanitarian disaster in a rustic which by no means had one,’ a Latin American diplomat in Havana says. ‘This is warfare waged by different means.’
