Washington, February 1 (RHC)-- The Federal Emergency Management Agency, known as FEMA, is ending shipments of food and water to Puerto Rico, four months after Hurricane Maria devastated the island.  About one-third of Puerto Rico still has no electricity and many rural areas still have no clean running water. 

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz criticized FEMA’s move while speaking at a gathering of Latino leaders in Washington, D.C., saying: “While I’m standing here with you, there are children without food in Puerto Rico.  We need the help.  And it’s not help, we have paid for it.”
