Cuba is in the process of restoring power after a nationwide blackout caused by the sudden failure of the Antonio Guiteras power plant, the country’s largest.
The government shut schools and non-essential services to conserve electricity, sending most state workers home.
The blackout worsens the already difficult living conditions in Cuba, where residents face shortages of essentials like food and medicine.
Efforts to bring five oil-fired plants back online are underway, but life across the island remains disrupted.
