FALMOUTH, Trelawny — Hugh Gentles, the Custos Rotulorum of Trelawny, has called for a strategic shift in relief efforts following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. Gentles emphasized that the immediate priority for the parish is the provision of building materials to aid residents in repairing and reconstructing their homes, which were severely damaged when the hurricane struck southwestern Jamaica on October 28. While the community has expressed gratitude for the initial humanitarian aid, including food, clothing, and care packages, Gentles stressed that the recovery process has now entered a critical phase focused on long-term reconstruction.
