Authorities in Puerto Rico raised the death toll from Hurricane Maria by 3 to 48 based on a review of medical records, Fox News reported Saturday.
Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello says he is pushing for outside aid to restore electricity and his goal is to have it back for half the island by Nov. 15 and for 95 percent by Dec. 31.
Previously, officials had said it could take as long as March to reach that goal.
85% of Puerto Rico is still without electricity aftermath of Hurricane Maria in September.
