The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico with its more that 3 milion people was devastated last week by a double-edged sword when it was hit by hurricanes, Irma and Maria in what has been consdidered the worst natural distaster in 90 years. Governor Ricardo Rossello announced that the death toll has risen to 34. The Carribean island is currently in a state of chaos and suffering from further emergency because of the scarcity of food, electrictricity – also in hospitals – and potable water. Two regions have not yet been reached by emergency responders, and many mountain villages on the mountains have been left to themselves. The small local Focolare community has been involved in helping. The situation remains critical.
