Death Toll Climbs In Jamaica And Haiti, Jamaican Consular Office In Belize Calls For Donations

At least 19 people have died in Jamaica as a result of Hurricane Melissa. The historic hurricane also killed at least 30 people in Haiti, officials say.

Electricity remains out to most of the island and as people try to salvage damaged homes and belongings from flood water and mud, many thousands are growing increasingly desperate for aid.

If you want to help the Jamaican Consulate in Belize is inviting concerned persons to make donations to their Heritage Bank Account, number 9141578.
