Caribbean faces devastation after Hurricane Melissa

Recovery efforts are underway across the Caribbean following Hurricane Melissa, which left widespread destruction and a rising death toll. In Jamaica, damage is estimated at more than $6 billion, while Haiti reports dozens dead and more missing amid flooding and landslides. The United Nations World Food Program is coordinating aid to more than five million affected people, as the U.S. pledges $24 million in relief funding. Officials warn recovery will be a “marathon effort” amid food and water shortages.
