Destruction in Haiti
Kensington Lundy: For the past ten days, a cyclone has been ravaging the country. We are still being cautious, and my family is currently under pressure, facing food insecurity. I ask all of you, my friends, to pray for Haiti, where the situation seems complicated and difficult for the people of my community. Livestock have disappeared, crops are devastated, and the roads are currently impassable.
Although Hurricane Melissa did not make direct landfall in Haiti. The storm caused catastrophic damage and at least 30 deaths in Haiti due to extensive flooding and landslides from its outer bands and heavy rainfall over several days.
Hurricane Melissa made landfall as a Category 5 storm in Jamaica on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, and later in eastern Cuba on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, as a Category 3 hurricane.
Haiti was heavily impacted by the slow-moving storm’s periphery, which resulted in a major humanitarian crisis, particularly in the southern coastal town of Petit-Goâve where an overflowing river caused widespread destruction.
