Cuba’s government says some electricity has been restored on the island after one of the country’s major power plants failed and left millions without electricity in an outage that started two days earlier.

Cubans expressed alarm, with one resident saying it felt as if the country had reached the “bottom of the barrel.”

A five-year-old boy and his mother, along with a 92-year-old man, are among the six people dead after Hurricane Oscar hit the coastal city of Baracoa and nearby areas in the eastern province of Guantánamo in Cuba as a Category 1 storm on Sunday, bringing heavy rains and flash flooding in a region that has been without electricity since Friday.
