In the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s catastrophic impact, Liberty Latin America Ltd., in collaboration with the Liberty Caribbean Foundation, has swiftly mobilized to deliver critical humanitarian and technical aid to Jamaica. Within just 48 hours of the disaster, a chartered X-Cargo A321 aircraft transported essential supplies, including potable water, non-perishable food, hygiene products, flashlights, residential generators, and vital network restoration equipment to Kingston. This rapid response was made possible through the concerted efforts of partners such as Wesco-Anixter, EFL, IBC Airways – GlobalX, Starlink, Digicomm, Tarana, and Viavi. Aamir Hussain, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Liberty Latin America, expressed deep gratitude for their invaluable contributions. Upon arrival in Kingston, Flow Jamaica’s local operations team immediately began distributing supplies to the most severely affected communities. Stephen Price, Vice President and General Manager of Flow Jamaica, highlighted the seamless coordination between the Miami-based Liberty Latin America and Liberty Caribbean teams, which served as a secondary command center. The Liberty Caribbean Foundation is now urging the public and corporate partners to bolster relief efforts through donations, which will fund food, water, emergency kits, connectivity services, and long-term recovery programs. Contributions can be made securely online at the Liberty Caribbean Foundation’s hurricane relief page. Liberty Latin America, a leading communications company operating across Latin America and the Caribbean, continues to leverage its extensive network and resources to support disaster-stricken communities.
