Hurricane Oscar, which made landfall on Cuba as a Category 1 storm, has resulted in the deaths of six individuals, including a mother and her five-year-old son, in the municipality of San Antonio del Sur due to severe flooding. The storm caused widespread destruction, leading to extensive power outages affecting millions, with over 70% of the island's electricity restored by Tuesday. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel described the flooding in Guantánamo as unprecedented and highlighted ongoing rescue efforts in severely affected areas. Protests erupted in Havana as residents expressed their frustrations over the extended blackout and lack of resources, prompting a government warning against civil unrest. The Cuban government attributes its ongoing economic difficulties to the longstanding U.S. trade embargo, while critics point to internal mismanagement as a contributing factor. Recovery efforts are underway, with youth brigades being mobilized to assist in the aftermath.
