O se afā sili ona malosi ua fa’atūina ai se matati'a ua o'o i se tulaga aupito maualuga i le fua o le malosi o afā - le Category 5.


O le afā o loo fa’aigoaina o Hurricane Melissa ma ua o’o i le 295 KM i le itulā le malosi o le matagi ma le tetele o timuga ma tafega ua molimauina ai.

Ua to'a 7 tagata ua maliliu ai i le Kerepeane - to'a 3 i Jamaica, 3 i Haiti, ma le to'atasi i le Dominican Republic.

Ua aga'i atu nei Melisa i le taulaga o Santiago de Cuba i le atunu’u o Cuba.

Na saunoa Stéphane Dujarric o mālō 'aufaatasi, ua sauni vaega lavea'i ma fesoasoani i le taimi e mae'a ai le to'asā o Melissa.

"Thanks to the pre-positioning of relief supplies ahead of the hurricane season, WFP (World Food Program) is coordinating a sealift operation from Barbados carrying supplies from the World Food Program, the international organization for migration, and UNICEF. An airlift of some 2,000 relief kits is also planned for deployment once airports reopen and the weather conditions permit flights."
