CUBA: Fears grow of possible humanitarian crisis
The continued pressure on Cuba by the US administration led by President Donald Trump, in the wake of the 3 January military raid in Venezuela and capture of former president Nicolás Maduro (2013-2026), a key ally of Havana, comes amid mounting concerns that the island, already suffering economic collapse [EB-12-25], could be facing a deepening humanitarian crisis. This was already indicated in a report released in July 2024 by Spain-based NGO Observatorio Cubano de Derechos Humanos (OCDH) on the state of social rights in Cuba.
