Part of situation: US sanctions deepen Cuba tourism and humanitarian crisis (77 clusters)

Cuba faces severe crisis amid escalating US sanctions

US sanctions Cuba economic crisis migration UN human rights energy crisis

Cuba is facing a severe humanitarian and economic crisis driven by escalating United States sanctions and internal instability. UN human rights experts have condemned recent US measures, warning that they attempt to “alter the constitutional order of a sovereign State through threats and coercion.” These sanctions target five Cuban entities and eight individuals, creating significant obstacles to fuel and medical imports.

The island is experiencing acute shortages of electricity, water, food, and essential medicines. The energy crisis has led to frequent power outages, which in turn disrupt water supplies and basic daily activities. Additionally, the US government has noted a significant migration trend, reporting that over 850,000 Cubans arrived in the United States between 2022 and autumn 2024.

In response to economic pressures, the Cuban government is implementing new supply market regulations under Resolution 13/2026 to diversify food and resource availability. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has expressed confidence that Cuba is on an “irreversible path” toward a different political future, comparing the potential transition to the shifts seen in Eastern Europe.
