Drivers in Cuba queue for days to get diesel fuel

In Cuba, fuel queues fill up for blocks, and irate drivers wait several days or even longer to fill up their cars.According to experts, the dramatic shortage of diesel fuel is the result of a "domino effect", as authorities were forced to divert fuel from the transport sector to run power plants.

The government has made no official comments on the shortage of diesel in the stations. At least 200 cars, trucks and vans were queuing at the service station in the Guanabacoa neighborhood. In recent weeks, Cubans have also been experiencing major blackouts, which generated so much tension in the population.
