In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, the coastal town of Whitehouse in Westmoreland, Jamaica, has been reduced to a scene of devastation and despair. The Category 5 storm, which struck last Tuesday, has left the once-thriving fishing and tourism community in ruins. Homes have been obliterated, power lines are tangled across streets, and families are now huddled under makeshift shelters. With no access to electricity, running water, or immediate relief, residents are grappling with the harsh realities of survival.
