People wait in line for the arrival of a fuel tank truck in Havana, Cuba, April 14, 2023. REUTERS/Alexandre MeneghiniHAVANA, April 14 - Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel said the island's ongoing gasoline shortages were caused by countries contracted to supply the fuel not complying with their requirements due to "a complex energy situation."

"We still don't have a clear idea of how we are going to get out of this situation," he said, in a first public statement in three weeks about the worsening fuel deficit that has plagued the country amid a near-unprecedented economic crisis. Diaz-Canel said a breakdown of a ship in the southeastern city of Santiago de Cuba that prevented the fuel from being unloaded had delayed diesel supplies, while a large part of available supplies were fuelling electricity generation.

Diaz-Canel underlined that the shortages were a result of "non-compliance" from the supplier nations, rather than inefficiencies or issues within the country's energy institutions.
