A printed photo taken on Sept. 29, 2017 showing police lifting the coffin of officer Luis Angel Gonzalez Lorenzo, who was killed during the passage of Hurricane Maria when he tried to cross a river in his car, is shown at the same cemetery in Aguada, Puerto Rico, May 31, 2018. The local police force of Aguadilla and Aguada lacks about a dozen officers since the storm, due to resignations and retirements. The U.S. territory's bankruptcy has frozen promotions, salaries, new hires and some police academies have even closed. (AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa)
Arden Dragoni holds a printed photo taken on Oct. 5, 2017 that shows him with his wife Sindy, three children and dog Max, amid the remains of his home that was destroyed by Hurricane Maria, as he stands at the same spot where his home remains in shambles in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, May 28, 2018. The unemployed construction worker and security guard is currently separated from his family while his wife and his children live in a FEMA subsidized apartment, and he lives with his father.
Rafael Reyes holds a printed photo of him taken on Oct. 7, 2017 showing him amid the remains of his wooden home after it was destroyed by Hurricane Maria, as he sits at his property in the San Lorenzo neighborhood of Morovis, Puerto Rico, May 26, 2018. The 41-year-old father and husband who collects Social Security has been living with his in-laws and says he plans to rebuild with FEMA's $31,000 assistance, but will need another $50,000 to finish it. This time, he says he'll build it in stone, instead of wood. (AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa)

People on both sides of the bridge were left stranded when it collapsed, turning a 45 minute commute to the other side into a three hour oddesy. (AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa)

Blanca Rivera and Eduard Rodriguez pose with a printed photo of them that was taken on Sept. 30, 2017 as they slept in their car after their home was destroyed by Hurricane Maria in the San Lorenzo neighborhood of Morovis, Puerto Rico, May 26, 2018. The couple says FEMA rejected their request for financial help to rebuild, so they sold their car to build a room next to his mother's house, behind. (AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa)

L’uragano Maria si è abbattuto sul Porto Rico lo scorso anno, il 20 settembre, ed erano stati accertati 64 morti ufficiali secondo il governo locale e quello di Washington. Ma uno studio recentemente pubblicato sul New England Journal of Medicine ha evidenziato numeri allarmanti sulle vittime effettive, che si aggirano sui 4645, il 70% in più delle cifre ufficiali. Questo elevato numero di decessi è dato dal periodo di osservazione che va dall’inizio della tempesta ai tre mesi successivi, monitorando gli effetti della devastazione sul sistema di cure e assistenza per gli anziani e i malati gravi. 4645 è il numero di morti in eccesso rispetto all’anno precedente su 3300 nuclei familiari. Nelle foto, alcuni abitanti del Paese caraibico mostrano il prima e il dopo il passaggio dell’uragano, posizionandosi nello stesso posto dell’anno scorso. (foto Ap)
