More than nine million Cubans are caught in the middle as the United States and Cuba blame each other for Cuba's deepening humanitarian crisis, according to a CBS News report. The report describes a dispute in which each government points to the other as responsible for the crisis.

The network's headline states that U.S. sanctions have pushed Cuba “to the brink” and that health care is at risk. That wording is CBS News's own characterization of the situation rather than a finding attributed to any government. The summary of the report does not explain in detail how the sanctions affect specific services.

According to CBS News, the blame runs in both directions. The summary does not identify the officials who made those claims or describe the arguments each government makes in detail, so the positions of both sides are presented only in general terms.

The most specific figure in the CBS News summary is the population affected, which it places at more than nine million Cubans. The summary gives no further figures on the health care system or on how the crisis has changed over time, and it does not say when the situation began.

This account relies solely on the CBS News title and summary, since the network's report is the only source available for the story. Readers seeking the full reporting, including any statements from each government, can consult the original report linked above.
