The European Union has come into contact with its humanitarian partners in the face ofthe 'dramatic situation' in Cuba and is closely following the serious crisis caused by the lack of fuel supplies on the Caribbean island following the interruption of oil supplies from Venezuela following the capture by the US of Nicolas Maduro at the beginning of the year.
"We are aware of the seriousness of the situation and are in contact with humanitarian partners in Cuba, "said Community sources, who recalled that in 2026 the EU allocated EUR 123 million to Latin America and the Caribbean.
Specifically, EUR 23 million will be allocated to theCaribbean to address the humanitarian impact of the escalation of armed violence in Haiti , helping to meet the most pressing needs of the affected population, and another EUR 4 million will go to the rest of the Caribbean, with particular attention to the humanitarian situation in Cuba and the Dominican Republic.
To this aid must be added the aid provided by the Community bloc to Cuba, at the end of last year, to repair the damage caused by Hurricane Melissa after sending some EUR 2 million to the country\u00A0asmoz , to which other resources were added to the neighbouring islands.
After Venezuela ceases to be the country's main energy support, Cuba is experiencing a serious crisis caused by the lack of fuel supplies following the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro, Washington and Caracas.
Moreover, the Trump administration has intensified the blockade on the island and threatened to impose special tariffs on all countries, such as Mexico , which has expressed its intention to continue supplying oil, but Cuba has run out of fuel.
