According to the American president, the number was invented by the Democrats to give him a bad name.

Trump states that between six and eighteen people died as a result of the hurricane. The official number of deaths stood at 64. The governor of Puerto Rico recently increased it to almost three thousand.

An independent study, published in the leading New England Journal of Medicine, shows that the number of victims has been seriously underestimated.

During the aftermath of the hurricane many, more people would have died, for example, due to inadequate medical care.
