LACOVIA, St Elizabeth — Fed up with weeks of unaddressed flooding that has destroyed homes, ruined livelihoods, and upended daily life, hundreds of residents from multiple districts in this south-central Jamaican parish took collective action on Tuesday, closing the Lacovia main road with protest placards to demand immediate clearing of the area’s clogged drainage networks. The roadblock was dismantled quickly to restore traffic flow connecting Lacovia to eastern and western hubs including Holland Bamboo and Santa Cruz, but the deep-rooted anger over the ongoing crisis remains unaddressed.
