Search and rescue efforts are underway in Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa made landfall on the island’s southwestern coast Tuesday afternoon. The storm left a trail of destruction before moving toward Cuba and the Bahamas, where it also caused significant damage. At least 48 people have been reported dead as officials assess the full impact. Hurricane Melissa has since weakened to a Category 2 storm, but recovery efforts across the Caribbean remain urgent.
