Impact of Sanctions on Everyday Cubans
Sanctions on Cuba have had varying impacts on different segments of Cuban society. While some may not feel the full brunt of the sanctions, others, especially the younger generation, experience challenges like a lack of community support and isolation due to emigration from Cuba.
