The health and sanitation conditions facing families displaced by Tuesday’s demolition exercise in Coopers Pen, Trelawny, are coming under scrutiny, with the Opposition calling for urgent intervention before the situation triggers a public health crisis.
Dennis Meadows, chairman of the People’s National Party (PNP) Northern Trelawny Constituency, is urging the Trelawny Public Health Department to investigate the conditions in which displaced residents are now living.
Meadows said families who were forced from their homes and provided with tents are without basic sanitary facilities.
