Jamaica was so badly battered by Hurricane Melissa that officials still have no idea how many people died, government officials grimly admitted — with just four deaths confirmed on Wednesday.
The island nation’s government “is not in a position to make an official statement on deaths,” Minister for Local Government and Community Development Desmond McKenzie told reporters Wednesday.
“We have not had alerts of any deaths so far. So we cannot presume that there are deaths,” he added.
