Hurricane Melissa, a catastrophic Category Five storm, has wreaked havoc across the Caribbean, leaving a grim trail of destruction and a rising death toll. As of October 29, 2025, the hurricane has claimed over thirty lives, with entire communities grappling with the aftermath. The storm made landfall in Jamaica on Tuesday afternoon, unleashing winds of up to 185 miles per hour, which tore apart homes and flooded neighborhoods. Currently, three-quarters of Jamaica remains without power or phone service. Haiti also suffered severely, with at least twenty-five fatalities reported due to overflowing rivers caused by relentless rainfall. This morning, Hurricane Melissa, now downgraded to a Category Three, struck Cuba, isolating over 140 people before heading toward the Bahamas. The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) provided an update on the crisis, highlighting the extensive damage and ongoing recovery efforts. In Jamaica, approximately 25,000 people are sheltering in 832 emergency centers, with major flooding in Montego Bay and significant infrastructural damage across several parishes. The Jamaican government has issued an ‘all clear’ signal, transitioning to early recovery operations and urging support through the official relief portal.
