Descrive the current situation in Puerto Rico

There's still little power on the island. In many places, there's still no water to drink or bathe in or to flush toilets. There's limited food and cell service, and dozens of remote villages have been completely cut off from everything for weeks. "Make no mistake — this is a humanitarian disaster involving 3.4 million US citizens," Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said the Monday after Maria hit. The initial recovery response from the US federal government has been lackluster, and President Trump's comments have not inspired confidence. After dwelling early in the week on the facts that 1) Puerto Rico is an island, and 2) Puerto Rico is in massive debt, the president and his senior officials then went on the defensive, describing the administration's response so far as a "good news story." The Federal Emergency Management Agency still has not authorized full reconstruction aid to Puerto Rico. "Help us. Without robust and consistent help we will die," Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, said in a statement on October 12. "Mr. President, fulfill your moral imperative towards the people of Puerto Rico." This is still a terrible disaster that deserves more coverage and a better-coordinated response — and both appear to have been impeded by widespread confusion about Puerto Rico's relationship to the United States and the severity of its current situation. Here's what every American needs to know.
