FALMOUTH, Jamaica — Jamaica’s Trelawny Parish, east of Montego Bay, is one of the island’s hardest hit but least assessed areas.

In the capital town of Falmouth, a waterfront hospital pummeled by Hurricane Melissa is in desperate need of critical medical supplies.

Parts of the roof have been ripped off and patient rooms have been left in disarray as staff in place are still trying to treat patients.

Local residents directed members of Savage Freedoms Operations and Project Dynamo to the area to asses needs, to develop a re-supply plan and ensure incoming aid is strategically collected and dispersed.

“We can’t rebuild Jamaica, but what we can do is help provide those medical supplies so they can start treating their medical emergencies,” said Adam Smith, founder of Savage Freedoms Operations.

It has been very difficult for relief groups to access some of the hardest hit areas as some roads are only just being cleared for the first time, days after Hurricane Melissa battered the area.
