飓风梅丽莎在加勒比地区造成广泛破坏

摘要

飓风梅丽莎已导致牙买加、海地和古巴至少44人死亡,并造成严重损失,救援工作正在进行中。

飓风梅丽莎是袭击加勒比地区最强烈的风暴之一,给该地区造成了重大破坏。牙买加信息部长达娜·莫里斯·迪克森表示,牙买加至少有19人死亡。该飓风于周二以5级飓风强度登陆,风速高达每小时185英里(295公里)。

海地官员报告称,至少有25人死亡,其中包括许多儿童,主要原因是佩蒂高夫镇附近的一条河流泛滥。

古巴也遭受严重影响,超过300万人面临生命威胁。据联合国古巴驻地协调员弗朗西斯科·皮琼介绍,约有73.5万人被安全疏散。

风暴造成了广泛的破坏,许多社区被孤立,大片地区被夷为平地。牙买加大部分地区仍然停电,数千人急需援助。

国际援助正在调动中。世界粮食计划署正在协调受灾国家的物流、现金和紧急物资。美国国务院派遣了一支灾难响应队,协助搜救行动并提供必要物资。英国政府宣布追加500万英镑(约600万美元)人道主义援助,包括避难套件和太阳能灯。

随着该地区开始恢复工作,损失的全面评估仍在进行中,当局继续努力恢复基本服务并向受影响人员提供援助。
