00:00Engulfed in darkness, Havana's residents rely on the headlights of vehicles to make out
00:05the city's streets.
00:07It is Cuba's third major power outage this month, as Trump's blockade on energy imports
00:12to the island continue to put strain on the lives of citizens.
00:16In the country's capital, residents share their exasperation.
00:21We are stuck in the same rut, twice a week cooking with firewood.
00:24It's absolute madness.
00:26The solution is unlikely.
00:27We've been stuck in the same situation for 60 years.
00:3120 tonnes of humanitarian aid arrived in Havana on Friday, including sorely needed medical
00:37supplies, food, water and solar panels.
00:40But with no oil imports entering the country since early January, the aid is a drop in the
00:45ocean in comparison to the country's needs.
00:48Fears of a potential US invasion of Cuba are mounting.
00:52Earlier in the week, Trump said he believed he would have the honour of taking the island.
00:56In response, President Miguel Diaz-Canel said the island will be prepared to defend itself.
01:04We recognise that there may be an aggression on Cuba and we have launched a plan to enhance
01:10our readiness to defend our people.
01:15It involves defending the country with the participation and preparedness of the entire people.
01:23Meanwhile, energy shortages continue to disrupt the lives of Cubans.
01:28The country's energy minister has said work is underway to restore power.
01:32But Saturday's blackout is unlikely to be the island's last.
01:36Do you want to use an island's affiliation?
01:36It's 1,27-50 dm.
01:36It's 2,27-50 dm.
01:37It's 3,18-50 dm.
01:37It's 4,27-20 dm.
01:37It's 3,28-50 dm.
01:38It's 3,28-100 dm.
