Mainstream news describe the economic situation is Cuba as extreme, see for example, this article by CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/22/americas/cuba-crisis-energy-economy-intl-latam

Is that true? How to get a realistic account of the current situation in Cuba? Is United States blockade getting worse?

Edit. Added a mainstream source and re-stated my question in a more neutral tone.

I'm not sure it's fair to say extreme, it's still doing way better than Gaza, for example. But, it's bad.

Any debate will be about why.
