San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz told NBC News on Tuesday afternoon that the elderly were in “a dire situation.”
“We’re having to bring lunches to retirement homes, drinkable water, general water, but what they are in dire need of is diesel,” she said.
“It’s really a life or death situation,” she said.
“I have not received any kind of help,” said the mayor of the coastal northern town, who had to travel to San Juan to make requests at the central office of emergency management because he was unable to make phone calls from his town.
