Cuba's national electrical grid collapsed entirely on March 16, 2026 — the sixth total blackout in 18 months — leaving all 10 million inhabitants without power after more than three months without oil shipments due to the U.S. blockade on Venezuelan and Mexican fuel supplies. The crisis, rooted in decades of infrastructure decay but dramatically accelerated by Washington's January executive order threatening tariffs on any nation supplying oil to Cuba, has pushed the island into what the UN describes as an acute humanitarian emergency, with hospitals unable to treat cancer patients, 84% of water-pumping infrastructure offline, and food distribution chains collapsing.
