ALTHOUGH TT students in Jamaica are physically safe, many are affected mentally by the experience of living through hurricane Melissa which made landfall in Jamaica on October 28 as a powerful Category 5 storm.

Melinda Alfred, Tobago representative of the TT Student Association at the UWI Mona Campus in Jamaica said it was the first time the students experienced a hurricane and they were traumatised.

“I know persons who are still crying. Some are unable to sleep alone or at all. I can’t say that people are emotionally okay.”
