FLOODLIGHT
DNB AID FOR JAMAICA
Hurricane Melissa, the most powerful storm Jamaica has ever seen, made landfall on Tuesday 28 October and continued to rage on for six days. With wind speeds of up to 185 miles per hour, Jamaica was still recovering from Hurricane Beryl, which struck in July of 2024.
Over half a million people lost power to homes and business premises, with parishes under water and buildings collapsed.
Over 70,000 farmers lost more than 100,000 acres of farmland and the lives of 1.25 million farm animals.
The total losses in agriculture were estimated at J$29.5 billion to replace.
As of now, there are over 90,000 households displaced and 190,000 buildings damaged, with an estimated cost of $10 billion to replace. Nearly a third of Jamaica's annual wealth has been wiped out.
The Drum & bass community all over the world have come together to help
