On Friday, Cuba’s power grid suffered a total collapse. This led to a nationwide power outage on the island, which has a population of about 9 million, UNN reports, citing Reuters.
Cuba’s outdated power generation system is under enormous strain due to fuel shortages, aging infrastructure, and the oil blockade imposed by the United States.
