Following is a statement from U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) on the situation in Puerto Rico:
“There is a crisis in Puerto Rico where food, fuel, water and medicine is sitting at the docks and not getting out to the remote parts of the island. The situation calls for an immediate response by the U.S. military to provide security and distribution to these remote areas.
“As was said after Hurricane Andrew: ‘Where the hell is the cavalry?’”
