It’s been a week since Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, and the US Island is in desperate shape. Most of Perto Rico is without power, phone service and food and medicine are in short supply.

It is, in short, a ‘humanitarian crisis’, San Juan’s mayor told CNN on Tuesday.
“We are finding dialysis patients that haven’t been able to contact their providers, so we are having to transport them in near-death conditions,” Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz said, recalling a group’s visit to two San Juan-area nursing homes this week. “We are finding people whose oxygen tanks are running out, because … small generators now don’t have any diesel.”
Parents are going without food so their children can eat and desperation has set in. The US needs to do more.
And our President needs to stop complaining about the NFL and confront a real issue before more lives are lost.
