GENEVA, Oct 28, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Hurricane Melissa could affect 1.5 million people in Jamaica alone, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said Tuesday, warning of a "massive impact".

"1.5 million people may be impacted," Necephor Mghendi, the IFRC's head of delegation for the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean, told reporters in Geneva from Trinidad and Tobago, warning that number could be "an underestimate".
