Cuban officials report that the healthcare system is on the verge of collapse due to a US blockade affecting oil supplies. The situation has worsened with ambulances lacking fuel and hospitals suffering from power outages. The blockade has led to a humanitarian crisis, impacting millions of Cubans with chronic illnesses. Health Minister José Ángel Portal Miranda warns that US sanctions threaten basic human safety and could risk lives. The energy crisis has intensified following US sanctions aimed at regime change in Cuba, with President Miguel Díaz-Canel refusing to negotiate under unequal terms.
