Cuba Fuel Shortages Prompt Rationing

CUBA – Cuba’s fuel shortages have increased dramatically with authorities suspending activities, as well as rationing gasoline sales and moving some universities’ classes online.

Cubans have experienced shortages of all kinds of goods amid the recent economic crisis. The cancellation of activities come following days of long lines to get gasoline at filling stations.

Experts say the lack of gasoline and diesel is not due to a lack of crude oil, but rather due to the difficulties refining it.

Cuba produces about half of what it needs and buys the rest from other countries.
