Puerto Rico Struggles To Reach Areas Cut Off By Hurricane Fiona
Newsy
Roughly 900,000 people on the island were without power four days after the storm, and nearly 500,000 people did not have water service.
Hurricane Fiona left hundreds of people stranded across Puerto Rico after smashing roads and bridges, with authorities still struggling to reach people four days after the storm smacked the U.S. territory, causing historic flooding.
For now, government officials are working with religious groups, nonprofits and others braving landslides, thick mud and broken asphalt by foot to provide food, water and medicine for people in need, but they are under pressure to clear a path so vehicles can enter isolated areas soon.
