Hurricane Melissa: Emotional Reunion at Ground Zero

In Middle Quarters, Jamaica, Hurricane Melissa has left severe destruction, with residents like Vivienne Bennett suffering injuries and lacking basic necessities. The police chief reported six deaths in St Elizabeth Parish, and many areas remain isolated, complicating aid efforts despite the UK pledging £7.5 million for recovery. Black River, described as “ground zero,” is devastated, with communications down for days. Amidst the chaos, emotional reunions occur, such as Inkiru Bernard finding her mother Inez McRae alive despite their destroyed home.
