Germany's foreign ministry strongly discouraged citizens from going to Cuba due to an acute energy crisis that particularly limits medical care in a travel notification sent on Wednesday.
Flight and hotel options are also limited, said the ministry, and further, last-minute restrictions must be expected at any time.
Cubans faced a 29-hour national blackout this week as U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated his rhetoric against the Communist-run island in addition to cutting off oil sales.
