Cuba en Crisis Humanitaria

URGENTE

Colapso Energético Total (Marzo 2026)

Tras la intervención de EE.UU. en Venezuela, el bloqueo de petróleo venezolano dejó a Cuba sin combustible. La red eléctrica ha colapsado 3 veces solo en marzo de 2026, dejando a 10 millones de personas sin luz. Cuba lleva 3 meses sin recibir diésel, fuel oil ni gasolina. La gasolina cuesta $9/litro en el mercado negro — más de lo que la mayoría gana en un año.

Telemundo 51, 21 marzo 2026Colapso Hospitalario

“Cuando mi mamá me llamó diciendo que mi abuela necesitaba cirugía de cerebro, agarré suministros médicos y tomé el primer vuelo. Me cobraron $700 solo para ir de La Habana a Santa Clara por la escasez de combustible. El hospital estaba en condiciones insalubres — pagué $100 de mi bolsillo para que limpiaran la sala. Me vestí de enfermero y trabajé junto al personal médico. La operación fue un éxito y pude cargar a mi abuela en brazos para sacarla del hospital.”

PHL: Cyclone - 08-2026 - Philippines Southwest Monsoon enhanced by Tropical Cyclones Maymay and Dolphin

At 8:00 PM on 4 August 2026, the Low-Pressure Area (LPA) located west of Bacnotan, La Union intensified into Tropical Depression MAYMAY, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). By 2:00 AM on 5 August 2026, Tropical Depression MAYMAY further intensified into Tropical Storm MAYMAY (international name: Kujira) while moving slowly near the western coast of Northern Luzon. On 6 August 2026, Tropical Storm MAYMAY weakened into a Tropical Depression and made landfall over the Ilocos Sur–La Union area before traversing the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon. As it moved inland, the system continued to weaken while crossing the rugged terrain and is forecast to emerge over the eastern coastal waters of Isabela or Cagayan. PAGASA indicated that the cyclone may further weaken into a remnant low by the afternoon or evening, although interaction with the mountainous terrain could result in an earlier weakening. The remnant low is then expected to move generally southeastward before merging with the larger circulation of Tropical Cyclone DOLPHIN. Despite its weakening, MAYMAY, together with the enhanced Southwest Monsoon, continues to bring heavy rainfall, strong to gale-force winds, and hazardous sea conditions over affected areas. PAGASA also emphasized that localities outside the forecast track and confidence cone may still experience significant impacts, particularly heavy rainfall, strong winds, and rough to very rough seas.

URY: Cyclone - 08-2026 - Extratropical cyclone

The National Emergency System declares the Red Alert due to the formation of an extratropical cyclone, which will generate very strong and persistent winds, with very intense gusts that could exceed 120 km/h in the coastal strip between the Pando stream and the town of Aguas Dulces, from 9 p.m. today, Thursday, August 6, until 04:00 a.m. on Friday, August 7. What is the phenomenon that motivates the Red Alert? The Red Alert is declared due to the forecast of the formation of an extratropical cyclone that will generate very strong and persistent winds, with very intense gusts that could exceed 120 km/h in the coastal strip between the Pando stream and the town of Aguas Dulces. A significant increase in waves is also expected, especially in coastal areas. The measure is adopted in view of the high certainty of the occurrence of the phenomenon and the potential impacts on the population, infrastructure and services. What territory does it cover? The Red Alert includes the coastal strip from the Pando stream to the town of Aguas Dulces, also covering the following main localities: Atlántida Station, La Floresta Station, Marelli Quarries, Cerro Pelado, Cerros Azules, El Tesoro, Gregorio Aznárez, La Capuera, Maldonado, Nueva Carrara, Pan de Azúcar, Medina Park, Pueblo Solis, San Carlos, 19 de Abril, Castillos, Puente Valizas and Rocha, and the other surrounding towns. When does it start and when does it end? The Red Alert comes into force as of 9 p.m. today, Thursday, August 6, coinciding with the beginning of the significant increase in wind associated with the extratropical cyclone, and will remain in force until 04:00 a.m. on Friday, August 7. What does the Red Alert imply? The Red Alert is established when there is a high certainty of the occurrence of an adverse phenomenon in the immediate term and a significant increase in potential impacts. This alert implies the limitation of mobility and the suspension of activities associated with the risk in the public bodies included in the affected area, except those linked to essential services of the State. Likewise, it is urged that the different areas of private activity follow the provisions established in the resolution. The population of the areas specified for the red alert is urged to follow the recommendations published by the National Emergency System. Updating Information Sinae, in coordination with INUMET and the agencies that make up the National Emergency System, will continue to monitor the situation permanently. Any update on the validity of the Red Alert, the evolution of the phenomenon and the measures adopted will be communicated through the official Sinae website and networks.

URY: Flood - 08-2026 - Uruguay River Flood

Background Between the afternoon of Friday, July 31, and the early morning of Saturday, August 1, 2026, an episode of strong and occasionally severe storms was recorded in Uruguay, with greater impact in the northern part of the country. The event was associated with an orange level weather warning from INUMET and generated power outages, falling trees and minor damage to infrastructure, mainly concentrated in the department of Salto. As a result of the rains recorded in the upper and middle basin of the Uruguay River, the flood wave continues to propagate downstream of the Salto Grande dam. As of August 2, river levels are rising at the five reference stations, with a probability of exceeding the safety level in Bella Unión, Salto and Paysandú during the day of August 3. Fray Bentos would remain below its safety level. The saturation of the soils in the basin, after the accumulations of recent weeks, reduces the infiltration capacity and favors direct runoff into watercourses, which constitutes an additional risk factor for any new rainfall over the region. Seasonal climate trend (INUMET-UdelaR) Source: Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology and University of the Republic,  Climate Trends Bulletin No. 7, July-August-September 2026. The trends are expressed as the probability that the quarter will be located in the upper, middle, or lower tertile of the climatological distribution (in the absence of bias, 33.3% in each category). Current conditions (April-May-June mobile quarter, closed on 06/28/2026): negative precipitation anomalies predominated in much of the country, of greater magnitude south of the Río Negro (deviations between -70% and 50% throughout the territory), and negative temperature anomalies throughout the country, more intense in the north (-1.5 °C to -2.0 °C) than in the center, south and east (-0.5 °C to -1.0 °C). ENSO context: during June 2026, warm sea surface temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific were consolidated (anomalies in the Niño 1+2, 3, 3.4 and 4 regions of 2.5 °C, 1.5 °C, 1.2 °C and 0.6 °C respectively, as of 06/29/2026), together with weakening of the trade winds and deepening of the Southern Oscillation Index in negative values. CPC-NOAA's ENSO forecasts initialized in June assign a close to 100% probability of El Niño conditions during the JJA 2026 quarter, with persistence expected for the remainder of the year. This scenario is the one that supports the highest probability of above-normal rainfall in the northeast/north of the country during JAS, ASO and SON, and the greater seasonal predictability that INUMET reports during the development of El Niño. Relevance for the Uruguay River basin: the bias towards above-normal rainfall in the northern half of the country during the next three rolling quarters (JAS, ASO and SON), added to the persistence of El Niño, maintains a background scenario favorable to new intense rainfall events and the generation of floods in the upper and middle river basin.Uruguay, beyond the punctual evolution of the current flood. Soil condition and absorption capacity The accumulated rainfall during the last weeks in the Uruguay River basin, including the severe event of July 31-August 1,  keeps the soils of the littoral region and the upper and middle basin in a condition of high saturation.      +With saturated soil profiles, the infiltration capacity is greatly reduced: most of any new rainfall runs off directly into streams and ravines instead of being absorbed.      +This effect partly explains why occasional floods in urban courses (e.g., Sauzal and Ceibal streams in Salto) moved rapidly to the main channel of the Uruguay River.      +Specialists consulted by the region's media stress that the flood risk analysis should not be based only on the instantaneous level of the river, but on the set of rains that have already occurred, rains forecast, the behavior of tributaries and the state of saturation of the soils throughout the basin.      +In this context, any significant new rainfall over the upper or middle basin is more likely to quickly translate into an increase in flow, given the limited margin of absorption remaining. <h2 style="margin: 11.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;">Synthesis of the hydrological forecast</h2> Bella Unión: the level continues to rise with a low rate of increase; It is expected to reach and slightly exceed the safety level (6.30 m) in the next few hours. Jump: it is not expected to exceed 11.90 m, although it is likely that the safety level of 11.40 m will be exceeded. The current rate of increase (8 cm/h) is the highest of the five stations monitored. Paysandú and Fray Bentos (according to CARU): the levels will continue to increase gradually. In Paysandú, a value close to 6.35 m is expected, exceeding the safety level; in Fray Bentos, a level close to 2.91 m is expected, below its safety level.

SLE: Pluvial/Flash Flood - 08-2026 - SLE: Flash Flood - 08-2026 - Freetown

On the early morning of 3 August 2026, Freetown experienced approximately six to seven hours of continuous heavy rainfall, resulting in widespread flash flooding, severe erosion, and slope collapse incidents across several low-lying and hillside communities. The incidents caused significant damage to homes and infrastructure, displaced hundreds of people, resulted in fatalities and missing persons, and contaminated critical water sources. The National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA), together with SLRCS and other partners, immediately deployed field teams to conduct search and rescue operations and preliminary assessments in the affected communities The heavy rain fall resulted in significant humanitarian impacts across several communities, particularly in Portor Community, Juba, Metchem Community, and Femi Turner Drive. Preliminary assessments indicate that more than 300 houses were flooded and damaged forcing hundreds of families to leave their homes and resulting in the loss of household belongings and livelihoods. The incident also resulted in three confirmed fatalities after a compound wall collapsed during the heavy rains, killing a five-year-old girl, her mother, and grandmother. Additionally, two children remain missing, with search and rescue operations continuing, no injuries has been officially confirmed. Critical infrastructure was also affected. Eight community boreholes, which serve as the main source of drinking water, were contaminated by floodwaters and declared unsafe for consumption, increasing the risk of waterborne disease outbreaks. Further damage was recorded at Femi Turner Drive, where severe erosion caused the collapse of a perimeter wall, resulting in three vehicles being washed away.
