BOONE, N.C. , Nov. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tomorrow, Samaritan's Purse will launch its third airlift to Jamaica, scaling up the organization's ongoing relief efforts to Hurricane Melissa—the largest storm in the country's history. The 767 cargo plane will carry an Emergency Field Hospital to the island nation. Jamaica's Ministry of Health requested this life-saving facility to provide urgent, critically needed care to patients as many hospitals and infrastructure across the island were severely damaged in the storm. The facility will be built in Black River , where the hurricane made landfall along Jamaica's southwest coast and destroyed the local hospital.
