The Wider Image: Displaced Puerto Ricans seek refuge in Florida
Puerto Rican Eliany Martell, 5, reacts to being scolded by her father Felix Martell (L), 43, at a launderette in Ocala, Florida, U.S., December 2, 2017. Martell is the primary caretaker for the child after his wife died two years ago. He worried Eliany's education would suffer in Puerto Rico due to lengthy school closures following Hurricane Maria. Father and daughter are now living in a run-down hotel paid for by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Martell has yet to find a job. Still, he said there is no turning back. "The girl has learned more in three weeks of school here than in the entire semester on the island," he said. "I am concentrating on her future."
