Millions in Cuba face water shortages as oil crisis deepens • FRANCE 24 English

In Cuba, seven months of an effective oil blockade imposed by the Trump administration has not only increased power outages but is also leaving more and more people without running water. In August 2025, 2.6 million people on the Caribbean island nation had difficulty accessing water, according to the Cuban Institute of Hydraulic Resources. Today, that figure has risen to 3.5 million – around a third of the population. FRANCE 24’s Ed Augustin reports on the health risks rippling through the island.

  1. Every single time that the American regime goes against Cuba, the American economy fails. This time, the American economy is going to be thrown into an economic depression that will have Americans eating rocks to survive. Karma.
