飓风梅丽莎在牙买加造成28人死亡;英国承诺追加援助

摘要

飓风梅丽莎在牙买加已造成28人确认死亡,促使英国增加对加勒比地区的人道主义援助。

根据总理办公室的消息,飓风梅丽莎在牙买加已造成28人确认死亡。这场五级飓风于10月28日登陆,造成了广泛破坏,尤其是在西部教区。政府对受影响的家庭和社区表示哀悼。

针对这场灾难,英国承诺追加500万英镑紧急人道主义资金,以支持加勒比地区的恢复工作。这是在本周早些时候宣布的250万英镑初始援助基础上的追加。援助包包括3000多个避难套件和1500多个太阳能灯,帮助受损房屋的居民及无电地区的人们。

作为有记录以来袭击加勒比地区最强烈的风暴之一,飓风梅丽莎还影响了海地和古巴。在海地,拉迪格河溢出导致南部沿海小镇佩蒂戈韦至少25人死亡。古巴遭受严重破坏,包括房屋倒塌和道路阻塞,但尚未报告死亡。

英国政府正与世界粮食计划署和红十字会合作,确保紧急救援物资送达最需要帮助的人群。英国的人道主义和技术人员已被派遣协助协调救援工作,一艘皇家海军舰艇也处于待命状态,准备提供额外援助。
