"We have to extend our love and charity to the people who have suffered the most. What happened in Jamaica is terrible. Some of the places people want to reach are not reachable anymore because roads are blocked - there is a lot of debris on the road meaning they are not passable. People here have donated food and other items - it's nice to know there are still good people in this world."
"I'm trying to do as much as I can, but I feel very helpless. My friends and family feel it's going to be years before they will get back to some sort of normal life. People are going to die. There are people who just want a drink of water and are not getting it. There are some areas that have been really badly hit but are just not getting any attention."
Reggae musicians and community volunteers in east and south London are organizing donation drives to send relief supplies to Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa. At least 30 people have died and whole towns have been destroyed, with roads blocked by debris and mudslides, cutting many areas off. Maxi Priest described feelings of hopelessness as friends report collapsing roads and people stranded on rooftops. Luciano urged extending love and charity, noting inaccessible communities and significant debris. Comedian Harry Gregory warned recovery may take years, with urgent needs for water and aid in neglected, badly hit areas.
