Congressman Eliot L. Engel issued the following statement on Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico:


“The devastation in Puerto Rico over the last several weeks has been too much to bear. The images are heartbreaking and the damage is nothing short of catastrophic. The issues are especially bad when you consider those on the island barely had a moment to breathe after Hurricane Irma before Hurricane Maria hit. We need to do everything in our power to help our fellow citizens in their moment of need. New Yorkers are no strangers to powerful, dangerous natural events and as such we stand ready to assist in any way we can. I urge my colleagues in Congress to come to the aid of Puerto Rico quickly.”
