HAVANA, March 26, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United Nations has proposed an emergency plan for crisis-hit Cuba, including tracking fuel use, amid talks with the United States on allowing energy imports for humanitarian services, a UN official said Wednesday. The UN has been in talks with Washington to allow fuel in for humanitarian purposes. He said a fuel monitoring plan was needed "to ensure that it goes to the critical, essential services that are prioritized in the plan." UN chief Antonio Guterres warned last month that Cuba risked a humanitarian "collapse" if it were denied oil. President Miguel Diaz-Canel has imposed emergency measures to conserve fuel, including strict fuel rationing.
