Hurricane Oscar Causes Power Outages And Protests In Cuba

Cuba protests rattle hallowed ground in Santiago

Hurricane Oscar's impact on eastern Cuba has left millions of residents without power, exacerbating an already challenging situation. The storm made landfall near Baracoa as a Category 1 hurricane, bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall to the region. As a result, the nation's electric grid has struggled to cope, with repeated attempts to restore power proving unsuccessful.

In the capital city of Havana, residents are facing days without electricity, leading to a range of difficulties. People have been forced to spend time outdoors due to poor lighting, with some resorting to playing games like dominoes to pass the time. The stifling heat indoors has prompted children to sleep outside, while schools have been closed until Thursday.
