An international human rights group, Refugees International, has issued a scathing report on the U.S. response in Puerto Rico to Hurricane Maria. The group says “poor coordination and

International is an independent non-profit group that advocates on behalf of displaced people around the world. This was the first time the group had investigated a situation in the U.S.


When its team arrived in Puerto Rico, more than two months after the storm, Refugees International says it was surprised that the relief effort was “uncoordinated and poorly implemented.”


The group says the poor response was “prolonging the humanitarian emergency on the ground.” READ THIS STORY FOR FREE To continue reading, sign up for our newsletters and get unlimited access
