THOUSANDS of unopened bottles of water meant for Puerto Rico hurricane victims found in field… AGAIN

Tens of thousands of water bottles intended for hurricane survivors in Puerto Rico have been found sitting in a field unopened. After a similar discovery last year, the find suggests massive waste in the US disaster relief effort.

Nearly two years after a pair of hurricanes rocked Puerto Rico, killing thousands, traces of Washington’s ill-fated relief project still litter the country. Aerial photos captured by the AFP news agency reveal a veritable ocean of waste: countless water bottles heaped onto pallets on farmland near the city of San Juan.

Is this the same pile as before, just with the weeds taller?

I guess whoever tried to siphon it off for fun and profit found no buyers.
