#HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica Report of Food Security Monitoring Impact - 4 months on. (Agriculture, food, & nutrition after the hurricane.)

#HurricaneMelissa #Cuba not recovering as they should/could b/c US blockage slowing/stopping even normal supplies, never mind disaster relief supplies.

#HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica locals may not have roofs but the tourists are coming back.

#HurricaneMelissa losing one's home - there's the emotional trauma from the lose. There's physical trauma in injuries, infections, and other issues that result from no longer having safe shelter.

#HurricaneMelissa - months later & 8 schools are still active shelters (as in the people have no homes to go to).

#HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica The storm was caused by global warming - the seas are already 1.4C warmer now & that makes bigger, stronger, more damaging storms. The major emiters are all part of a pact to reduce emissions but haven't done it. Suing them for damages seems like a good idea.

#HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica program started to help storm-hit schools in the west.

‘Lots of people still don’t have roofs’: Jamaicans living in hardship after Hurricane Melissa Many say they have not received support to rebuild their homes months after the storm caused unprecedented destruction

This is quite true. It is shameful. We still have homeless people without a roof over their heads despite promised support after #HurricaneMelissa
And these people lost EVERYTHING.

Jamaica supports Ghana’s UN Resolution on Trafficking of Enslaved Africans as “the Gravest Crime Against Humanity” It is good to see that relations between Jamaica and Ghana have become warmer of late (if you look at history, how could they not be) – especially since the visit of Ghana’s Foreign Min…

Jamaica and other Caribbean nations supported UN Resolution today by #Ghana on Trafficking of Enslaved Africans. Recently a team of Ghanaian soldiers, here to help with #HurricaneMelissa recovery built two African houses in #Seville (a former sugar plantation).

#HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica renewables take less damage and are back online faster than any fossil-fuel/grid system. As to which renewable is best, that depends on local environmental factors.

#HurricaneMelissa #Caribbean agencies identify gaps in emergency response.

#HurricaneMelissa & just how much damage she did & to whom.

#HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica Manager of Young's Lobster Pound in Belfast returns to Jamaica to process damage and try to help.

#HurricaneMelissa wasn't the last hurricane. And unfortunately was only the worst for now. There will be worse. So rebuilding - roads & everything else - MUST prioritize climate resilience and road design for safety & to keep the most vulnerable connected.

#HurricaneMelissa - among many others. #Cuba twitler making up more stuff while planning to "annex" another island in the Caribbean

Two men in military camouflage stand with backs to the camera in front of a small house with thatched roof and built using red mud. There is a wheelbarrow nearby. This house was built by the Ghanaian military at Seville Heritage Park in St. Ann, Jamaica - the site of a colonial home where enslaved peoples lived at the back of the house. The estate owners used to complain about the smell from the slave quarters. Seville is really well worth a visit.

As part of a cultural heritage initiative aimed at strengthening historical ties between #Jamaica and #Ghana, two African houses were officially handed over to Jamaica by the Government of Ghana. Constructed by the Ghana Army Reconstruction Team assisting with #HurricaneMelissa recovery efforts.
