In a significant display of regional solidarity, Belize has mobilized substantial aid to assist Jamaica and Cuba in recovering from the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. The government has pledged $200,000 in financial assistance to both nations, which bore the brunt of one of the most destructive storms to traverse the Atlantic this year. The hurricane wreaked havoc, leveling homes, crippling infrastructure, and disrupting essential services, underscoring the disproportionate impact of climate change on small island nations. Beyond monetary support, Belize has dispatched relief supplies, including hygiene products, canned food, and cash aid, to its students studying in Jamaica and Cuba. Officials have emphasized their commitment to monitoring the situation and providing further assistance if required. In a public statement, Belize reaffirmed its unwavering solidarity with Jamaica and Cuba, highlighting the enduring bonds of friendship, cooperation, and mutual support that unite these Caribbean neighbors.
