Cuba's grid failed repeatedly during this window, at times island-wide, after the government reported its fuel reserves exhausted. Reporting covers rationing plans, closed hotels and suspended flights, uncollected refuse in Havana, hospital supply failures, and United Nations warnings of humanitarian collapse.

Hospitals without power, uncollected refuse, malnutrition and UN warnings of collapse describe a civilian emergency that has outrun the argument about its causes.
