Morovis, Puerto Rico, Nov. 17, 2017: U.S. service members help off-load boxes of Meals Ready to Eat and packets of bottled water during a humanitarian distribution event in Puerto Rico. Nearly 50 days after Hurricane Maria pummeled Puerto Rico, most major highways have been cleared. But except for the largest municipalities, many towns and villages are still without running water and electricity. In the interior of the island, where smaller more remote villages are still struggling to get basic necessities, residents feel left behind in the slow recovery. Some are leaving the island in search of work or sending their children to the states. Others say they will stay and rebuild.
