Tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans are spending Christmas in darkness as the US island’s electrical grid has not been repaired from Hurricane Maria three months ago.
30,000 people in the town of Morovis gathered outside the City Hall to receive their twice-a-week share of bottled water and basic foods.
Residents of the region have been living in such condition for more than 90 days.
Officials promised to restore 95 percent of electricity delivery by December which has not happened so far.
Lack of power and dire need of maintenance painted a gloomy picture of Christmas for Puerto Rican children.
