Andrew Holness

Andrew Holness serves as the Prime Minister of Jamaica and has been actively managing the severe impact of Hurricane Melissa on his country. As one of the strongest hurricanes to hit Jamaica in nearly two centuries, Melissa caused widespread destruction across the island, prompting Holness to declare a national disaster area. Recent events include mandatory evacuations in vulnerable areas, including Kingston, as well as addressing immediate needs such as rescue operations and infrastructure repairs. The current relevance lies in Holness's leadership role during this crisis, focusing on relief efforts and recovery planning for affected communities.
