## Resource

Cuba’s third nationwide blackout in two weeks plunges the country into darkness as fuel shortages—exacerbated by U.S. oil sanctions—trigger a cascading power failure. Starting with a plant malfunction in Holguín, authorities scramble to restore power by prioritizing hospitals and food centers, with some Havana neighborhoods regaining electricity by afternoon. Daily life grinds to a halt: no water, no cooking, no internet, and public transit grounded. Surgeries canceled, people adapt—solar panels, portable batteries, and solar-powered tricycles now rule the streets. For Cubans, this is the new normal: resilience forged in the dark.
