flag Cuba’s mosquito-borne outbreak has caused 33 deaths, mostly among children, amid worsening health and economic crises.

flag Cuba has reported 33 deaths from mosquito-borne illnesses—12 from dengue and 21 from chikungunya—in an ongoing epidemic affecting at least one-third of its population. flag The outbreak, driven by the Aedes mosquito, has worsened due to chronic economic hardships that limit fumigation, waste management, and infrastructure repairs. flag Chikungunya, once rare, has spread rapidly, causing severe joint pain and long-term disability, while dengue has intensified amid weakened prevention efforts. flag At least 21 of the deceased were under 18, and major cities like Havana and Santiago report high infection rates. flag Officials say many cases go unreported due to limited medical access. flag The World Health Organization had warned of a global resurgence risk, linked to outbreaks in the Americas and Europe. flag The crisis strains Cuba’s healthcare system amid ongoing shortages of food, medicine, and fuel.
