Hurricane Melissa has left a trail of destruction in Haiti, claiming at least 20 lives and causing widespread devastation, according to local media reports. The hurricane, one of the most powerful to hit the Caribbean in recent years, brought torrential rains and severe flooding to multiple regions, particularly impacting the southwestern coastal town of Petit-Goave. Jean Bertrand Subreme, the mayor of Petit-Goave, described the scene as catastrophic, with entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble and debris. Footage from the area revealed extensive damage, with victims’ remains still buried under collapsed structures. The hurricane has exacerbated the already dire situation in Haiti, where over 1.3 million people have been displaced due to gang violence. Many of these displaced individuals sought refuge in shelters, such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Port-au-Prince, where makeshift homes with plastic sheet roofs were inspected during the storm. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, as Haiti faces yet another humanitarian crisis in the wake of this natural disaster.
