UNHCR | Hurricane Melissa | Donate now
Hurricane Melissa has struck the Caribbean with catastrophic force—destroying homes, flooding communities, and displacing millions. In Jamaica, it is estimated that up to 1.5 million people could be affected across the country
Families across the region are sheltering in emergency centres, having fled with nothing.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency is sending emergency relief items—blankets, solar lamps, mosquito nets, tents, and kitchen sets—to those in urgent need. We’ve already supported authorities in the Dominican Republic and stand ready to provide support in other countries in the region.
But our emergency stockpiles are running low. Help us restock and deliver life-saving aid to more displaced families across the region.
Thank you for standing with people caught in the path of this devastating storm.
