2017
First came Hurricane Harvey. Then the one-two punch of Irma and Maria. The United States and Caribbean nations have been hard hit this hurricane season. And though the storms have subsided, for now, their impact will be felt for some time.
Lives have been lost, homes and schools destroyed, roads washed away. For the survivors, the brutal work of drying out and rebuilding will continue for months and years to come. In the U.S. places like Houston, Florida, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are facing tremendous challenges. But of all the affected areas in the U.S., arguably no place has been as devastated as Puerto Rico.
As the
Miami Herald reported today:
On Wednesday, the Puerto Rico government, still held that the official number of deaths as a result of the catastrophe was 16. But the Center for Investigative Journalism (CPI, for its initials in Spanish) has confirmed that there are dozens of hurricane-related deaths and the number could rise to the hundreds in the final count.
The storm-related fatalities are mounting with each passing day, and official numbers are not counting patients who are not receiving dialysis, oxygen and other essential services.
