Death toll from Hurricane Melissa rises to 45 in Jamaica, with 15 others still missing
The death toll is expected to rise, with officials still trying to reach two towns that remain cut off since the catastrophic Category 5 storm made landfall in western Jamaica on Oct. 28.
Helicopters have been dropping food and other basic supplies in those two communities, said Alvin Gayle, director general of Jamaica’s emergency management office.
He said the storm has displaced 30,000 households, with 1,100 people still living in 88 emergency shelters that remain open.
