PositiveMedia’s The Daily with Cam Want aired a powerful and timely conversation with Convoy of Hope CEO Joel A’Bell, highlighting the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa.
A Nation in Desperate Need
Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, has left Jamaica reeling. With winds exceeding 270 km/h and relentless torrential rain, the island’s infrastructure has been devastated. Thousands have been displaced, and entire communities are struggling to access basic necessities like food, clean water, and shelter.
Convoy of Hope on the Ground
In his interview, Joel A’Bell shared how Convoy of Hope is mobilising emergency relief efforts—deploying teams to deliver food, clean water, hygiene kits, and shelter supplies to the hardest-hit areas.
“We’re seeing entire communities cut off, families without homes, and children in desperate need of basic necessities,” Joel said. “This is a moment for the Church—and for compassionate people everywhere—to rise up and respond.”
Joel emphasised the urgency of the situation and the importance of global solidarity in bringing hope to those who have lost so much.
