Miami flights deliver aid to hurricane-hit Jamaica <\/p>\n
MIAMI \u2014 Planes packed with food, water, and emergency supplies are taking off from Miami to help storm-ravaged communities in Jamaica.<\/p>\n
The South Florida\u2013based Global Empowerment Mission is leading the effort, sending essentials like canned goods, bottled water, and batteries to areas hit hardest by flooding and high winds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people down there without any homes,\u201d said Wendy Yeekeow, who arrived at Miami International Airport on one of the first flights out of Jamaica. \u201cRoofs are gone, everything\u2019s flooded \u2014 any donation helps.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yeekeow described the destruction as \u201ca nine out of 10.\u201d<\/p>\n
An American Airlines flight left Miami Thursday carrying aid, returning with passengers fleeing Kingston after days without power or running water.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose winds were strong \u2014 the building we were in was shaking,\u201d said Tyiesha Museau, who rode out the hurricane at a resort. \u201cLeaving was such a relief.\u201d<\/p>\n
Montego Bay\u2019s airport remains closed due to storm damage, leaving Kingston as the main exit route for now.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so happy to be back,\u201d said Jimetra Alexander, another returning traveler. \u201cWe still have to get to Atlanta, but we\u2019re safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
