Cuba’s oil shortage: Amidst the oil shortage in Cuba, people are carrying goods with bullock carts, people are facing American fuel ban.
Cuba’s oil shortage: The streets of Cuba have become deserted amid the US fuel embargo. While on one hand there are strict economic and fuel restrictions on Cuba, on the other hand ration and medicines are being delivered to the victims of the severe cyclonic storm ‘Melissa’ by bullock carts. America, which has imposed fuel ban, is sending ration and medicines to the victims here.

This contradiction is clearly visible in the rural life of Cuba. Where people are yearning for basic needs. Cyclone Melissa, a natural disaster, had destroyed the homes of hundreds of people. Even in this era, the impact of American sanctions is such that taking the relief goods from ports and warehouses to the villages is no less than a challenge. When petrol and diesel were completely exhausted, instead of giving up, the volunteers set out loading boxes of grains and medicines on bullock carts. Despite American sanctions, Washington is providing humanitarian aid to the Cuban people through this organization.
Medical examination of the victims is being done.
This care package not only includes food and drinks, but hundreds of needy people like Teodardo are also being given rice, beans, cooking oil, canned food, bath and laundry soap, toothbrushes and water purifying chlorine tablets. Along with this, under this campaign, medical examination of the victims is being done and their hair is also being cut.
For the Cuban people, filling their stomachs and finding a place to hide their heads has become the first priority more than politics.
However, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has a slightly different view regarding this help. He argues that such piecemeal aid given by America will not benefit Cuba. He says that if America really wants to reduce the suffering of the Cuban people, then it should completely remove the strict trade restrictions imposed on Cuba for more than six decades.
