Dozens of Cubans charge their phones outside the Carlos III store in Havana.

In what appeared to be one of the traditional lines to buy some of the many products that are scarce in Cuba, dozens of Cubans gathered outside the Carlos III store in Havana to recharge their cell phones, amid the massive blackout that the island is experiencing and from which it has not yet fully recovered.

"This Saturday at Carlos III, the line you see is not because they are handing out any module, it's people with rows of extension cords to charge their devices, all from a single outlet that is outside. They are also doing it outside of MINBAS," said the internet user Jairo Cabrera Monagas on Facebook.

Cabrera Monagas documented his information with photos where the crowd of people can be seen, who desperately seek a way to charge their devices and thus stay informed amidst the energy collapse on the island.

Starting this Friday at noon, Cuba is experiencing a total disconnection from the National Electroenergetic System (SEN), meaning a complete blackout, after the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric plant, the main energy supplier in the country, went out of service.

Throwing to the ground the minimal progress made to restore it, this Saturday the SEN collapsed again.

According to the Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel, who has once again pointed to the United States as responsible for the island's energy crisis, this situation is a "further demonstration of all the problems that the blockade causes us, and of the impacts of the blockade. Sometimes it is said that no, that it is due to inefficiency, to wanting to upset the people."

This Saturday, in addition, Cuba continued to have no access to the internet, which has caused a significant digital isolation for millions of people.

According to the international internet disruption observatory NetBlocks, network data shows that much of Cuba remains disconnected as a result of the second national blackout.
