                                            🇯🇲 Jamaica Declared "Disaster Area" After Catastrophic Hurricane Melissa
Jamaica's Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, has officially declared the entire island a "disaster area" following the unprecedented devastation of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa.
The declaration, made late Wednesday, highlights the catastrophic scale of the damage:
Infrastructure destruction and widespread flooding across the nation.
77% of the island remains without electricity.
Over 25,000 people are displaced and housed in emergency shelters.
Roads are impassable due to massive landslides and floodwaters, overwhelming emergency services.
This critical step will unlock all available resources, streamline relief operations, and expedite urgent requests for international humanitarian aid from groups like the United Nations and the United States. The immediate focus is on search and rescue and providing essential supplies as the resilient nation begins the daunting long-term challenge of rebuilding.
