Interim Report
Summary
Shortly after the horrific event of November 28th, it became clear that the Jamaican government was unable to send aid to the remote regions of the island in time. Many Rastafari communities, who have lived in the hills of Jamaica for many years, were and still are particularly hard hit.
A lack of communication, blocked access roads, and completely destroyed food production facilities made the already difficult daily life after the storm even harder for these people. This was due to a lack of access to medicine and food, as well as the inability of many to contact friends and family.
Thanks to the rapid response of the Peacemakers and the EWF on the ground, it was quickly possible to overcome the initial shock and gather enough resources to begin work on the Hurricane Melissa Relief Project. This means that just a few days after the hurricane, the first emergency packages were delivered, and relatives reported missing persons. These individuals were located and also provided with emergency aid packages.
In a second phase, support is now being provided for the construction of houses, farms, and community centers, and preparations are already underway to ensure an even faster response in the event of another disaster.
RUN’s rapid financial support provided the necessary framework and helped boost the motivation of everyone involved.
