‘Everything’s gone’, BBC finally able to access one of Jamaica’s worst-hit areas

Hurricane Melissa has caused significant damage in Falmouth, a prominent town in Jamaica known for its tourism. The hurricane, categorized as a category five, made landfall on Tuesday, leading to the destruction of homes and power lines in the area.

Among the affected structures is the William Knibb Baptist Church, which gained attention during King Charles’s visit to Jamaica in 2008. As the community assesses the extent of the damage, electricity companies are actively working to restore power to the town. The situation remains challenging as the country continues to deal with widespread outages in the aftermath of the storm.

The scale of destruction raises questions about the recovery efforts and the long-term impact on the local tourism industry.
