The Cuban population is grappling with severe economic hardship as the United States intensifies pressure on the island nation's government.

Residents are experiencing power outages lasting up to 20 hours daily, severely disrupting daily life and economic activity. The electricity shortages have been compounded by restricted oil supplies and deteriorating infrastructure.

Internet access has become increasingly limited, hampering communication and access to information for ordinary citizens. Basic necessities, including food and medicine, remain in short supply across the country.

The renewed US pressure marks a significant shift in policy toward the Cuban regime, which has governed the island since 1959. The measures aim to exert economic pressure on the government, though critics argue the impact falls most heavily on ordinary civilians.

International observers are monitoring the situation as humanitarian concerns grow amid the escalating crisis.
