Cuba continues to be in turmoil as repeated blackouts raise concerns about food, water supply, and the nation's economic future as a whole. The Cuban government is scrambling to restore the national grid after widespread outages throughout the past weeks. Residents are struggling to sleep in the heat, food spoils, and water supply falters.
The outdated water supply system is failing as well, leaving 600,000 people without regular access to water. The island returned to regular power cuts lasting up to 20 hours a day after a week of almost complete darkness.
