Puerto Rico has been transformed into dead trees, downed power lines and lines for gas.

The road to recovery in Puerto Rico will be long and daunting, as electricity, fuel and transportation remain crippled in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Citizens who have lost everything to the storm are trying to rebuild, but continue to wait for assistance as the military surveys the damage. Special correspondent Monica Villamizar joins Hari Sreenivasan to offer an update from the ground.
