Cuba is grappling with its worst power outage in two years while Hurricane Oscar approaches, complicating recovery efforts. Millions lost power after the collapse of the Antonio Guiteras power plant, with insufficient generation and increased demand spurring public protests across the island. Emergency measures, including class cancellations, have been initiated as residents struggle without electricity, water, and food[9][8]. The storm, initially a Category 1 hurricane, is expected to exacerbate flooding and infrastructure damage while local officials anticipate that electricity might be restored by Tuesday[6][7]. The government's crisis response faces criticism amid ongoing economic hardships and infrastructural decay from years of sanctions and mismanagement[5][4].
