Hurricane Oscar’s arrival to eastern Cuba Sunday has exacerbated living conditions for millions of residents already facing days without power, as fresh attempts to restore much of the nation’s electric grid have failed.

Cuba's national grid collapsed on Friday, leaving the entire population of 10 million people without electricity and underscoring the precarious state of the Communist-run country's infrastructure and economy.
