00:00A powerful hurricane hit Jamaica, and now British evacuees have just landed back home.
00:05But the crisis is far from over.
00:08Hurricane Melissa ripped through Jamaica with winds up to 185 miles per hour.
00:13It left homes flattened, hospitals damaged, and at least 28 people dead.
00:17With the power grid down and roads blocked, thousands are stuck without food, water, or fuel.
00:23Amid the chaos, the UK sent emergency aid and chartered a rescue flight.
00:27That flight just landed in Gatwick, bringing back British nationals who had been stranded.
00:32Around 8,000 Britons were believed to be on the island when the storm hit.
00:36King Charles and Queen Camilla even donated to support the Red Cross's relief efforts.
00:41But inside Jamaica, the situation is still critical.
00:44Many communities remain cut off.
00:46Aid convoys and helicopters are trying to reach the worst-hit towns.
00:49Hospitals are overwhelmed, and shelters are overflowing.
00:52This was the strongest storm of the year, and Jamaica will take months to recover.
00:57For those still there, the struggle isn't over.
01:00But as the world watches, help is slowly rolling in.
