(ECNS)-- Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm on Wednesday night near Siesta Key, Florida. At least 17 people have been confirmed dead in Florida in the hurricane's aftermath by Sunday.
Meanwhile, U.S. Republican and Democratic politicians are engaged in political drama. Misinformation and blame game have turned relief work into a political tool, further complicating the crisis. For those affected, this adds to the hardship of displacement, as rumors and "disaster politics" worsen their already dire situation.
