Puerto Rico public schools may not reopen for weeks

Puerto Rico is still feeling the devastation of Hurricane Maria nearly two weeks after the storm hit. 

Officials said only 5% of the island has electricity and its schools are not close to reopening. There are 1,113 public schools and a student population of 350,000 on the island but only 400 schools have been assessed for damage. 

Here are some stats on the island... 

Water. 41% of the island has potable water.

Food and water delivery. Eleven regional staging areas are open for food and water distribution but officials hope that number will grow to 25 in coming days. About half the grocery stores are operating.

Electricity. 5% of the island has power. The Army Corps of Engineers has begun a mission to repair the power grid, Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello said.

Gasoline. More than 710 of the island's roughly 1,110 gas stations were working as of Saturday morning, but lines were long and some stations were closing ahead of the 9 p.m. curfew.

Fuel delivery. Over the next few days, close to a million gallons of gasoline and half a million gallons of diesel fuel will arrive, the governor said. As of Sunday, 470,000 barrels of gasoline were in Puerto Rico.

Communications. 36% of people now have phone service in Puerto Rico, most in the northeast part of the island. All the island's landlines are operating but only about 11% of the cell towers are operational.

Shelters: 8,800 people remain in 139 shelters. Rossello saw this as an improvement because 500 shelters were operating 10 days ago.
