Part of Jamaica have been left in shambles after Hurricane Melissa tore through the northern Caribbean country on Tuesday as a Category 5 storm, killing at least 4 and displacing roughly 25,000 people.

Drone footage showcased the devastation felt across communities, including at St. Elizabeth Parish's Black River hospital - one of the many critical institutions left without power following the storm.

Though Melissa has weakened to a Category 2 storm over the last few days, it has unleashed flooding in Haiti, where approximately 25 people were reported dead. The hurricane is currently forecast to hit the Bermuda region.
