U.S. sanctions and the recent oil blockade have not only destroyed Cuba’s economy and fueled a humanitarian crisis. They are now also blocking humanitarian aid meant to alleviate suffering caused by U.S. policy.

UN Resident Coordinator Francisco Pichón sat down with Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández to explain what he's seeing on the ground: how U.S. sanctions, fuel shortages and what is known as “over-compliance” by banks are delaying the delivery of medicines, food and other critical supplies.

“If the fuel blockade continues, the humanitarian consequences for Cuba will grow deeper and could become irreversible,” he warned.
