CNBC Video: In Puerto Rico, thousands of supply containers full of emergency supplies just sit idle From Charity Munoz in Puerto Rico: I got online for the first time in days and one of the very first things I saw was an out and out lie about the government's response to the crisis I am in the middle of.

I don't care if you hate or love Trump, using the crisis in Puerto Rico to spread political lies is disgusting! I am literally across the street from the airport, and the hotel I am in is where many of the first responders are staying, so here is what is going on from someone who is actually here seeing it. The government is here and has been here!

Every single day plane after plane full of FEMA, FBI, homeland security, army, Air Force, Marines, and extra police officers from all over the country shows up. Cargo plane after cargo plane and ship after ship full of supplies shows up. There is a hospital ship off the coast that I can see from the beach. The response was quick and it keeps coming! They are out every day from sun up until sun down.

This isn't a political issue, it is a humanitarian one. The lies being spread about the response aren't helping the people here, it is just fueling hate based on lies! If you want to help Puerto Rico, donate money or supplies and pray. If you want to play politics find something else to argue about! Not like there aren't hundreds of topics for you to choose from!

Edited to add this- Roads have been completely destroyed in many areas, especially the remote one. The military and FEMA are going out to these places on foot with 100 lbs + packs on their backs. It is requiring them to cut their way through flooded areas to get there. It will take time to reach everyone when conditions are as bad as they are.

TRANSLATION TRANSCRIPT:

B: what is your name?

C: I cannot give my name because I work for Puerto Rico’s police department.
I need to pass this information out because the stuff that is being brought from the U.S. it is not being  distributed, they are not allowing the Puerto Rican people to receive the donations

B: What part of Puerto Rico are you calling us from exactly? C: I am right now in Guaynabo. B2: WOW!

B3: But what affirmation do you have? What have you seen?

C: The mayor, Carmen Yulin, is not allowing anyone to distribute… We need… What us Puerto Ricans need is that the U.S. armed forces to come in and distribute the aid.

And that they stop the Governor, Rosello and the mayor Yulin from continue on doing what they are doing... It’s an abuse, it looks like communism, in our own island (sobbing)…

(Sobbing continues, inaudible due to cries)

People are helping us, but they are not accepting it, they are not accepting anymore help because supposedly “they have to wait for the license, that there are no buses…”

… Let me tell you something, Boricuas (Another name for Puerto Ricans) are dying of hunger (crying continues)

This is a bureaucracy, everything has to be a protocol, the lines are outstretched… We can only give one box of water per person (sobbing continues)…

The medics here, people are dying, the hospitals are in crisis, I am embarrassed, As Boricua to work for Puerto Rico’s police and see that we cannot do anything.

There are dozens and thousands and thousands of food and when people ask we cannot give  anything  away because Carmen Yulin says that we cannot take anything out because everything is a soap opera, everything is a show there have to be cameras here and there…

Because you know, they are just looking for votes for the upcoming years.

And the governor won’t move unless there is a camera behind him, Carmen Yulin won’t move unless there is a camera behind her.

This is how we are living in Puerto Rico, in the meantime artists are giving money and the people of Florida are sending stuff and I don’t know how many more people are helping because we have very limited communication, very limited and we have no idea what is going on outside and the people that are sending stuff they have to come in, they have to come to help Puerto Rico and distribute what is being wasted, because what else are we going to do? You tell me, what are we going to do?  

B2: Of course, the desperation B1: We are with our hearts broken listening to you describing this situation which is heartbreaking when we know that so many people are helping… This is a police officer speaking

C: I’ve been for 1 hour and a half, just trying to download an application Because the phones that they give to us I cannot use them as a police officer due to security measures

But I need to speak for the people Because the people are suffering. Because I, as a cop, along with other police partners we are seeing it. A lot of people have been posting videos (sobbing, inaudible)… and no one is paying attention

B3: We are truly sorry for this situation, we didn’t know that

C: If Cuba, Venezuela want to help and we are grateful for that and that the government denies their help, the government denies Cuba's help... That they reject Venezuela's help... Look, for God’s sake!

Tell me, how is that possible?! We need help!

B3: We are going to send this message out so that it gets to where it needs to gets to

C: We want the U.S. to come in, that the strongest forces come in And take the governor out, he is not doing anything he is just going around and around and everyone is like "oh how nice, the governor, he is going into the mud, he is going in the water" And where is it? 

…Pardon the expression WHERE IS THE FOOD?

Look grab the food, just grab the sausage can and the water and take it to the families!

Stop the show! The governor is just doing a show, is all a show

There are many mayors, that are suffering because they cannot do anything for their people.

B2: So what are they doing with the food? Is it being kept in storage because they are not allowing to give it out?

C: They are not doing anything, and they keep telling the harbors(ports) that they cannot bring stuff anymore. If the U.S. government doesn’t get involved they will finish us. We are going to end up worse… Worse than Cuba, Africa, or worse than Haiti

We are living an era that you don’t want to see, people are desperate. The gasoline, people are already killing each other.

Not to rob you

They are doing it so they can be the firsts to get food and take it to their families

Do you know what it is when a woman approaches me and tells me "I don’t have anymore...

I don't know what else to give to my kids because I don't have anymore. Water and crackers!"

B: Sweetie, thank you for calling us and using this medium to denounce this situation

And good thing that it was you who explained this so that people don’t think that we are making up stuff because this has nothing to do with politics. It is a very serious situation

C: Very serious (sobbing continues)
