Hundreds of thousands of Cubans grapple with water shortages

Water shortages in Cuba are increasingly flaring tempers, including in the capital Havana, as problems mount for hundreds of thousands of residents already ragged from shortfalls in food, fuel and electricity. Upwards of 600,000 people - better than 1 in 20 on the Caribbean island of 10 million citizens - are suffering from problems with water supply, officials said earlier this month. "When they cut off power, we can't give water," says Pedro Martino, the water distribution manager at a Havana church group.
