More than 260 T&T students are grappling with fear and uncertainty as they shelter on the UWI Mona campus in Jamaica as Hurricane Melissa approaches. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said the Government has been coordinating relief and repatriation efforts.
Speaking to Guardian Media yesterday, Vice President of the Trinidad and Tobago Student Association at the Mona campus Jaden Paris, who represents the 2025–2026 cohort, said that students were advised to move to lower levels for safety.
“All of us were advised to come downstairs. A form was sent out earlier stating the items we may need, and we filled it out and went downstairs,” he said. “But it was kind of half fulfilled in terms of the number of items they provided. There is a video, there are pictures; we’re still gathering those.”
