@directrelief: As Jamaica continues its recovery from Hurricane Melissa, Direct Relief has completed a major weekend deployment of emergency medical aid, shipping large-scale supplies by air and sea to support hospitals and clinics across the island. The effort was carried out in partnership with @carnival Corporation & plc, the @Miami HEAT, and the Micky & Madeleine Arison Family Foundation, who collectively provided $1 million in support of Direct Relief’s Hurricane Melissa response. Together, the coordinated operation shipped 144 pallets — 68 tons — of critically needed medicines and medical supplies to Jamaica through a combination of air and sea transport, representing one of the largest private humanitarian responses supporting the country’s post-storm recovery.
