00:00The USA has imposed a naval blockade on Cuba for 255 days.
00:04Cuba is a small Caribbean island that is facing an electricity crisis due to American sanctions.
00:09Cuba generates 87% of its electricity from oil.
00:12It produces only 40% of the oil it needs.
00:15Not a single oil shipment has arrived in Cuba over the past 255 days.
00:19Of Cuba's total oil imports, 68% used to come from Venezuela.
00:23But oil supplies were halted following the regime change in Venezuela.
00:26Just imagine, 11 million people live on this small island.
00:28Cuba is governed by a communist government led by Miguel Diaz-Canel,
00:31and the United States wants to remove this government.
00:34The U.S. has declared that Cuba has ties with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia, and China.
00:39It has also warned that any country supplying oil to Cuba will face sanctions as well.
00:43Following this threat, Mexico, which used to supply 25% of Cuba's oil, also stopped its oil supplies.
00:49The situation in Cuba is worsening further as oil supplies remain halted.
00:52Power cuts continue.
00:53Schools are closing.
00:54Operations in hospitals are being canceled.
00:56And garbage is piling up on the streets everywhere.
00:58Essential services, including water supplies and transportation, are also beginning to be affected.
