The shortage is obviously due to the unregulated toilet paper market. This is why free, unregulated markets don't work. people are too selfish.

Cuba must immedately implent new regulations to limit the number of sheets which are allowed to be used per wipe. Max 2 sheets (1 sheet during emergency) per wipe. Max 2 wipes (1 wipe during emergency). Toilet paper regulators must monitor home toilet paper consumption to ensure compliance. The regulators will be paid quite well so that there will be less temptation to take a bribe if asked to "look the other way".

Too bad our American companies can't sell to them. I mean we're in a massive recession and have the ability to sell a ton of shit to these people and we can't. So much for free markets.
