Massive stockpile of bottled water found in Puerto Rico a year after Maria

Hundreds of thousands of water bottles meant for victims of Hurricane Maria are still sitting at a Puerto Rico airport — nearly a year after the deadly storm, according to a report.

A photo showing the bottles in boxes and covered in a blue tarp on a runway in Ceiba was shared widely on social media Tuesday evening.

“Although you don’t believe it… almost a million boxes of water that were never delivered to the villages,” posted Abdiel Santana, a photographer working for a Puerto Rican state police agency who took the pictures. “Is there anyone who can explain this?”

FEMA acknowledged to CBS News on Wednesday that the bottles were brought inland in 2017 in the wake of the hurricane and that they were turned over to “central government.”

The MDL never lets a little human tragedy go without exploitation . I am sure they will be screaming bloody Murder at Trump in the Carolina's soon enough. With elections looming the will exploit this hurricane for all its worth, while doing nothing to help

Well maybe this story will stir up hope that someone will find a warehoue full of Clinton Foundation cash in a Haitian warehouse that can be put to good use.
