THE government, in partnership with key stakeholders, is expected to launch a national collection drive to gather relief supplies for Jamaica in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa.

“These supplies will be sent to Jamaica to assist those most in need, particularly in vulnerable communities expected to face the brunt of the hurricane’s impact,” a statement from Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said.

“TT has always answered the call to help our Caribbean neighbours in times of crisis, and we will do so again. Together, we will stand with Jamaica and help them rebuild stronger and safer in the days ahead.”
