Kingston, Jamaica: Jamaica is facing a $9.5 billion financing gap to rebuild infrastructure and communities after the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Melissa. The storm resulted in widespread flooding, property damage, and disrupted essential services.
Government officials have urged international partners, financial institutions, and development agencies to provide support and funding to help the country recover. Priority areas include housing, roads, electricity, water supply, and public facilities.
Economic analysts warn that without timely assistance, the recovery process could be slow, costly, and impact Jamaica’s long-term economic growth. Authorities are also focusing on climate-resilient infrastructure to reduce the impact of future storms.
The government emphasized the importance of coordinated relief efforts and mobilizing resources quickly to restore normalcy for affected communities.
