People in a southern Puerto Rico city discovered a warehouse filled with water, cots and other unused emergency supplies, then broke in to retrieve goods as the area struggles to recover from earthquakes.
Puerto Rico's secretary of state, Elmer Román, told reporters that Acevedo had not told him about the contents of the warehouse.
Delgado later told reporters that he had received a tip about the warehouse, but gave no specifics on when.“This is outrageous,” she said. “Everyone knows what us mayors went through after Hurricane Maria to try and get help to our cities and how we’ve worked these weeks to provide basic supplies to people affected by earthquakes. Those involved owe us an explanation.
