The federal response to Hurricane Maria is under scrutiny again after photos show what appear to be millions of water bottles meant for victims of the storm still sitting on a runway in Ceiba, Puerto Rico. The photos began circulating on social media Tuesday, the same day President Trump again praised the government's response to Maria during a meeting with top DHS and FEMA officials.
Marty Bahmonde, a senior official at FEMA, confirmed to CBS News' David Begnaud that the agency delivered the water to the island. From there, the details are unclear. Bahmonde said they don't track specific shipments of water bottles so it's not clear when they were delivered or what became of the bottles after the delivery.
How do we know this was after the hurricane. There is no debris anywhere in sight.
“He said that in Germany when each German village was cleared of the Nazis, the people were immediately out cleaning the streets, etc. He said, meanwhile back in Italy they were still waiting for help to arrive.”
That’s exactly what I experienced in Texas. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. The people who lived there were very dependent on the government. Many permanently relocated to Texas. A lot of people were stranded at shelters in New Orleans while a lot full of buses sat unused within walking distance.
In September 2005, (just a month later) Hurricane Rita caused a mass exodus from Houston. I personally helped dozens of people with no transportation to get out of town. I took them to shelters in College Station before joining my family at a nearby Christian Camp where a family member had made arrangements. Because the hurricane passed mainly to the east of town, we were able to return the next day. When I did I saw locals clearing the roads with their own tractors. Not too many people were waiting around for the government to show up.
Unfortunately, Houston has had an uptick in violent crime ever since we got several thousand transplants from Louisiana.
That’s what helicopters are for....
In order to blame Trump.
“There was a problem in delivering supplies because of washed out roads.
They were probably intended for areas that were inaccessible.”
That was a part of the problem. But, an even greater problem was with union truck drivers and dock workers. They wanted more money and when didn’t get it refused to work. And, as with Katrina /New Orleans, a lot of people sat on their dead @$$’s waiting for someone else to take care of their every need. Much different than with Harvey/Houston where most people took charge of their situation. Results were much different....
So what?! Are people dying of thirst in PR?
yes they were when the water was delivered and in desperate need.
The black market that existed in Europe during WW2 was the worst in Italy. Italians stole everything and anything they could.

Do you have stats and a source?
How many died of thirst?
thank you...

Bill Clinton and best buddy, gold mining mogul, Frank Giustra, cameras snapping, made a big show of
Clinton/Giustra do-goodism in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

REALITY CHECK Then-Secy Hillary supposedly gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars for Earthquake Relief.
But Haitian-American protesters claim that American aid to Haiti was a cover-for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to The Clinton Foundation. For example, gold mining expert Giustra "gave" the Foundation $100 million....after Bill helped him make billions off uranium deals. Hillary's brother mysteriously got a rare gold mining license in Haiti (now on hold due to controversy).
=========================================
Hillary and Frank Giustra, left. Amb and Mrs Pickering
Hes a gold mining mogul......he facilitated the takeover of US uranium assets.... this billionaire received your tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept.
Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's $100 million contributions go directly:
<><> (1) to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation, and,
<><> (2) to the Canada-based "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership."
The "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership" in turn sends money to the Clinton Foundation......(according to Canadian tax records researched by "Clinton Cash" author Schweizer).

============================================
The NY Times reported the "Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership" collected about $33 million US tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept between 2008 and 2013.....$25 million of which was passed back across the border to the US-based Clinton Foundation.
Giustra then pledged $100 million to the Foundation after Clinton helped him clinch the mega-bucks uranium deal.
ITEM---millions of dollars and 1,100 donors are shrouded in mystery in the Canadian Giustra/Clinton operation. The Clinton Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding with the Obama White House agreeing to reveal its contributors every year. The agreement stipulates that the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative (as the charity was then-known) is part of the Clinton Foundation and must follow the same protocols.
SURPRISE: It hasnt.
Caught w/ his pants down, Giustra/s backtracking like crazy---saying Canadas federal privacy law forbids the Canadian-registered Clinton charity, from revealing its donors.
A memo he provided news organs cites fiduciary obligations to its contributors and Canada’s Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Disclosure Act. “We are not allowed to disclose even to the Clinton Foundation the names of our donors,” Giustra says.
However, Canadian tax and privacy law experts were dubious of the Clinton/Giustra claims. A former director knowledgeable about tax policy at Canada's Department of Finance, said he wasn't aware of any tax laws that would prevent the Clinton charity from releasing its donor names. " There's nothing that would preclude them from releasing donor names. It's entirely up to them."
