Similar Stories to Three Weeks After Maria, The Situation In Puerto Rico Is Still All 'about Survival' on Bing News

Donald Trump came, he praised himself, he threw paper towels. But though talk of Puerto RIco seems to have slipped out of the media, that doesn’t mean things there are suddenly fine. Or anywhere close. "It is way too early to even think about recovery. Right now, it's about survival," said Orlando Bravo, a Puerto Rico native and co-founder of private equity firm Thoma Bravo. "You have shelters, towns, rural communities that are running extremely low to this day — almost three weeks after the hurricane hit — on food and water," Bravo told CNBC's "Squawk Box." In some locations, the level of supplies reaching families are still well below what’s needed.
