Cuba & World Health Organization

Cuba: Cuba's healthcare system is in sharp decline due to fuel shortages and U.S. sanctions, leading to critical medical supply and equipment shortages, and a significant drop in child cancer survival rates. The country is also experiencing widespread power outages and food production declines.

World Health Organization: The World Health Organization (PAHO) is facing difficulties in distributing humanitarian aid in Cuba due to fuel shortages and is part of a United Nations emergency plan to address the crisis.

Cuba: Cuba's long-standing medical mission in Venezuela was ended, cutting off a key resource in underserved communities, which exacerbated the healthcare crisis following the earthquakes.

World Health Organization: The World Health Organization has warned about the severe strain on Venezuela's healthcare system and the increased risk of disease outbreaks due to unsanitary conditions and low vaccination rates among displaced populations.
