A UK government rescue flight has landed at Gatwick Airport, bringing home British nationals evacuated from Jamaica after the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa. With winds reaching 185mph, this Category 5 storm destroyed homes, cut power across the island, and left at least 28 people dead in Jamaica alone.
Thousands remain stranded without food, water, or shelter as aid agencies struggle to reach the worst-hit areas due to blocked roads and landslides. The UK has pledged £7.5 million in emergency aid, and even King Charles and Queen Camilla have donated to the Red Cross response efforts.
This video breaks down the full story—from the scale of destruction to the international rescue mission bringing help to Jamaica.
