The death toll from the disaster, which was 16 when Trump visited, has risen to 45<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Writes the NYT<\/a>: \u201cThree weeks after Hurricane Maria devastated the island, scarce medical supplies, equipment and power mean illnesses easily treated under normal conditions now can be a death sentence in remote areas. Puerto Ricans who suffered injuries in the storm, who contracted infections from polluted floodwaters or drinking water, or who have chronic conditions requiring continuous care are not receiving help, and are dying.\u201d<\/p>\n
