The Mayor Of San Juan, Puerto Rico Sends Out A Distress Call Stating The Island Is Starving After Hurricane Maria (Video)

September 29. 2017

The Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulin Cruz, has sent out a worrying distress call, stating if the island does not get the necessary food supplies shortly, many will die due to Hurricane Maria. The aftermath of the unprecedented hurricane has been very difficult. Puerto Rico is damaged and devastated.

People have donated pallets of food that are being disbursed as best as possible, though gas supplies are running low and logistical problems exist at some point in the supply chain. In the face of such a crisis, regarding an island surrounded by water, it is best to take the military rout and start dropping pallets of food from aircrafts, with clear messages stamped on the parcels in Spanish.

These food drops can be dropped at coordinates corresponding with locations close to government offices and approved charities (open fields). The air drops would have to continue for a time until logistical issues are addressed regarding the food supply chain. This would alleviate the restrictions of having to use trucks that need gasoline, which is running out on the island, to deliver much needed food. The way global militaries of major nations work is planes can be loaded with supplies, the air space can be cleared and food drops made within 24 hours.
