(250217) -- HAVANA, Feb. 17, 2025 (Xinhua) -- A vintage car drives along a dark avenue after a power outage in Havana, Cuba, on Feb. 15, 2025.
Cuba's Ministry of Labor and Social Security announced on Feb. 13 that given the current power situation, all non-essential educational and work activities were suspended on Feb. 14 and 15.
Due to U.S. sanctions, the country has long struggled to import fuel and repair its severely aging power generation equipment, leading to a tight nationwide electricity supply. (Photo by Joaquin Hernandez/Xinhua)
