Southern Trelawny residents feel overlooked in hurricane recovery

While recovery efforts in Jamaica have focused on the western parishes, communities in southern Trelawny, including Lowe River, Wait-A-Bit, Stettin, and Ulster Spring, feel neglected after Hurricane Melissa. Residents report severe crop losses and property damage, with little aid reaching their areas despite the storm's destructive impact.

Farmers and families face ongoing challenges, from landslides and downed power lines to blocked roads. Though they’ve begun clearing debris and salvaging what they can, the economic toll is significant, with farming livelihoods at risk. As national relief efforts continue, residents hope for timely support to rebuild their homes and livelihoods.
