We really need to do something about interCaribbean... This can't be it.

[Luke J. Lindberg @WFPChief]

Just over one month since #HurricaneMelissa, we've delivered food to 500,000 people.

Now we're pivoting: restoring livelihoods and cash assistance where markets work. Real recovery takes time – and @WFP is here for the long haul. Communities are counting on continued support.

[WFP Caribbean @wfp_Caribbean]

After the widespread destruction of #HurricaneMelissa, @WFP is in full swing supporting the Jamaican government’s recovery efforts.

Our logisticians, drivers & food monitors deployed to the hardest-hit areas to deliver food assistance to people like Dian Banton in Black River.

[WFP Caribbean @wfp_Caribbean]

Food supplies from @WFP for 6,000 people affected by #HurricaneMelissa have just been offloaded at Kingston airport. They will be sent asap to communities in St Elizabeth in support of #Jamaica government relief efforts.

Thanks to @CanadaDev @eu_echo @StateDept

🚢✈️ At this very moment, two sea vessels and one aircraft are en route to 🇯🇲 Jamaica — carrying emergency food, medicine, shelter, education and hygiene kits to support the humanitarian response to #HurricaneMelissa.

Made possible through the timely support of our donors. 🤝
