Unthinkable until recently, scenes of hunger are being repeated across Cuba as food runs low in state-controlled shops.
After seizing Venezuela’s revolutionary socialist ruler Nicolás Maduro in a commando raid last month, the Trump administration is trying to bring Cuba to its knees by forcing its few remaining allies to cut off fuel supplies.
Queues of cars snake along the streets as drivers wait for hours to fill up. Airlines have been told there is no more kerosene for their planes and rubbish piles up in the streets because refuse trucks lack fuel to collect it.
Diplomats and UN officials on the island fear the outbreak of epidemics and the spread of hunger. 'The Americans are deliberately creating a humanitarian crisis in a country which never had one,' a Latin American diplomat in Havana says. 'This is war waged by other means.'
