Officials in the southeast Caribbean are urgently seeking assistance from the international community as the region continues to grapple with the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, a devastating Category 4 storm that struck nearly two weeks ago. The storm has left a trail of destruction across Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, displacing thousands of people and causing widespread devastation.
Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines described the impact of the storm as 'Beryl's Armageddon,' highlighting the complete destruction of infrastructure and livelihoods on the affected islands. The storm, which set a record as the first-ever Category 4 storm in June in the Atlantic, made landfall on Carriacou in Grenada before sweeping through nearby islands.
