The Aftermath of Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean | Press Briefing | United Nations
Mr. Dennis Zulu, the Resident Coordinator for Jamaica and Mr. Simon Springett, the Resident Coordinator for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean brief virtually on the aftermath in the Caribbean of Hurricane Beryl.
The United Nations Resident Coordinator for the Eastern Caribbean, Simon Springett, today (5 Jul) told journalist in New York that the islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada, “were really dramatically catastrophically hit” by Hurricane Beryl, and said, “hopefully tourists won't give up on visiting these lovely islands.”
Springett said, “desalination plants have been knocked out. All of the cell towers have been knocked out. All of the fibre optic cables have been knocked out. The roads are impassable. We probably have about 95 percent of the housing stock destroyed. So, really, and that means by default all local businesses, all the income generating activities, and the list goes on.”
He said, “for tourism, clearly this is going to be a major, major impact, particularly on those smaller islands, in the Grenadines and in the north of Grenada,” adding that “fortunately, major infrastructure such as airports and ports weren’t hugely damaged.”
For his part, the Resident Coordinator for Jamaica, Dennis Zulu, said, “the government response has been activated and the UN stands ready to assist drawing from experiences.”
The UN, Zulu said, “has activated its emergency task team, co-chaired by UNICEF and WFP in Jamaica, and this team has been advising for UN country team and the default needs of the government in areas such as protection, WASH, which is water sanitation and hygiene, education, shelters, logistics and health, nutrition and of course, early recovery, food security and telecommunications.”
The cost of the disaster, he said, “has not fully being articulated” but noted that “the damage is widely apparent and is felt by persons from all walks of life, especially in rural Jamaica, including the southern parishes of Clarendon, Manchester and St. Elizabeth and those in vulnerable housing.”
Secretary-General has reiterated his solidarity with countries affected by Hurricane Beryl, releasing $4 million from the Organization’s emergency response fund to kickstart relief efforts.
Hurricane Beryl, the strongest hurricane in history to form in June in the Atlantic Ocean, wreaked havoc as it swept through Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Jamaica.
Initially a tropical depression, Beryl rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane and briefly reached Category 5 status, with winds up to 240 km/h (150 mph).

سأل أحدهم الفيلسوف الساخر جورج برنارد شو: بعد كل هذا العمر ما هي فلسفتك بالحياة؟ أجاب جورج: "فلسفتي في الحياة بسيطة للغاية: لا أقترب من الناس أكثر مما يسمحون به ولا أسمح للناس بالاقتراب مني أكثر مما يستحقون."

14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. 19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: 20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. 22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: 24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. 25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth: 26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. 27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; 28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, 30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
