Desperation and anger: Urgent calls for aid in wake of Hurricane Melissa | ITV News

At least 50 people are thought to have died after Hurricane Melissa ripped a path of destruction across Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti. 

The Britain government has announced an extra £5 million in aid for Jamaica, but many desperate communities say help is not yet reaching them.

ITV News has travelled to the resort of Black River on Jamaica’s south western coast, which authorities have called the "ground zero" of Melissa. Satellite images of what it looked like before and after the storm show the extent of the damage.
