New York, Afya foundation send emergency water aid to Puerto Rico amid drought crisis

Puerto Rico is experiencing a severe drought, leading to water rationing measures affecting nearly 500,000 people in and around San Juan and creating challenges in obtaining safe drinking water. In response, New York state and the Afya Foundation are dispatching emergency drinking water to the island. The initial shipment of 180 cases of bottled water is scheduled to leave Saturday to provide immediate relief.
