Policy & Health Impact: Cuba’s foreign minister says the U.S. blockade is driving record healthcare damage, citing disruptions from power and diesel shortages that affect hospital operations and infant mortality. Family Travel Stories: Viral social posts show the human side of travel barriers, including emotional reunions between Cuban families separated for years.
