Elon Musk's Starlink has joined forces with Flow Jamaica to aid victims of Hurricane Melissa. The collaboration brings free internet access to communities across Jamaica until November. The move comes after the powerful Category 5 storm struck the island and nearby regions earlier this week, cutting off major communication lines and power sources.

The initiative, supported by Liberty Caribbean, Flow's parent company, aims to restore connectivity and support relief efforts while repairs continue. Through Starlink's satellite internet system, families and emergency workers can stay connected even in areas where local networks remain down.
