Hurricane Melissa made landfall on Tuesday as a category five storm in Jamaica where people remain stuck on roofs and without power.
Three-quarters of Jamaica had no electricity overnight, while the numbers of people injured – or perhaps dead – haven’t even begun to be counted.
Local government minister Desmond McKenzie warned people on the island that recovery "is not going to be an easy road”.
No deaths have been confirmed in Jamaica so far but 20 people, including 10 children, are reported to have died in flooding in Haiti.
The UK government has now deployed urgent hurricane relief to the Caribbean.
