Samaritan’s Purse, a well-known nonprofit organization dedicated to humanitarian relief, has launched its first relief airlift to Jamaica in response to the severe damage caused by Hurricane Melissa. The hurricane, which made landfall this week, resulted in widespread destruction across the island and neighboring Caribbean nations. The organization’s arrival with emergency supplies underscores its commitment to aiding communities in crisis.
The relief effort includes medical equipment, clean water, and shelter materials aimed at addressing immediate needs. Samaritan’s Purse has collaborated with local authorities and international partners to ensure the distribution of aid reaches those most affected. As the situation continues to unfold, the organization has pledged to provide ongoing support as recovery efforts progress.
