@veneshatweets @deeporter_white Welcome to the streets. When people post these struggles of life in the streets, the upperclass doesn't have the slightest clue what it's like and to those who've been there, they seem to forget.

@myJPSonline I agree with you, JPS. That's money you could be collecting for the big light bill you are planning for us. We are Jamaicans, and we understand the game.
Thief no like fi see thief wid long bag. No love for the people who a
Suffer real bad.

@gamecounsel @ibkontehja This is so true and people don't understand the level of pain and trauma

[The Log Lady @gamecounsel]

@RoniqueRicketts @ibkontehja It's heartbreaking. I pray that everyone will be provided with proper shelter. That's no way to live, even for one day.

[NiQ RiC @RoniqueRicketts]

@AndrewHolnessJM Most respectable PM, I respect your work but at this people some of the help offered sounds like a help down rather than actual help.

[NiQ RiC @RoniqueRicketts]

@gamecounsel @ibkontehja I've gone back to my childhood home and the roof is gone but they have the 4 walls as protection and even without roof thats luxurious in comparison to those sleeping outside on the cold wet ground and people a come take bout catch water and survive.

[NiQ RiC @RoniqueRicketts]

@gamecounsel @ibkontehja Dem no live not even a second of it yet they have the most to say. Every Jamaican wha go West go help come back and say them need more help. Because they saw the devastation firsthand. Social media no give the true picture. Yet dem a tell people to "suck it up"

[NiQ RiC @RoniqueRicketts]

@gamecounsel @ibkontehja Are you in Jamaica now or overseas? If you are here in Jamaica I want you to take a trip to Westmoreland. You dont have to drive through the whole parish. The close you get to Darliston the clearer it is.

[NiQ RiC @RoniqueRicketts]

@gamecounsel @ibkontehja Yeah man people from other parishes a help dem families man. But the problem is the ashore who come on here and practically a tell ppl fi suck it up it's not that bad. Most of them the storm no affect them.

[NiQ RiC @RoniqueRicketts]

@GrumetOwen28224 @ibkontehja Both side of the divide can provide help and neither stepping up, both parties have failed miserably. These well connected people can help but they dont want to unless a camera is involved. If this hurricane had happened before the election you'd see a different Jamaica today.

@BROWARDBABYLEE @AthenaMarley Cownall Mountain, Cold Spring, Barneyside, Castle Mountain they need help.

[NiQ RiC @RoniqueRicketts]

@lorde_skinwah @ibkontehja A people like you who never lived this disaster come on here and hide behind comments like these. Clearly, you've never been through this trauma. Well played keyboard bully your day will come.

[NiQ RiC @RoniqueRicketts]

@ibkontehja I've been preaching this on social media and the funny thing is people overseas a talk bout how ppl fi help themselves and stop look fi handout. People jp understand seh Westmoreland and Hanover a no part a Jamaica

The National Water Commission (NWC) reports that 763 systems were affected by Hurricane Melissa, with 132 systems currently operational. Despite the severe impact, 65% of customers have already had water service restored, primarily through Jamaica’s largest supply systems, including Constant Spring, Mona, and Hope.

Restoration efforts are being prioritized for hospitals, major towns, and densely populated communities. In St. Catherine, connection to JPS power is expected to bring back service to over 80% of customers.

Water has also been restored to Negril, parts of St. Mary, and along the southern St. Elizabeth, Manchester corridor, where generators are providing limited daily supply.

Work continues across the island, including the installation of generators at key plants in Black River, Portland, and St. Ann, as well as repairs to damaged intake and pipeline infrastructure in St. James and Hanover. The NWC has also deployed over 100 private water trucks in addition to its fleet, ensuring communities in hard-hit areas continue to receive emergency water.

We thank the NWC teams, JPS, contractors, and first responders working tirelessly to restore full service. Jamaica’s recovery is progressing steadily, and we remain focused on ensuring access to clean, safe water for all citizens.

@AndrewHolnessJM Please let this be the format JPS use to give their report.
