Katrina Coy, the director of the Union Island Environmental Alliance, stated that the hurricane had left the majority of the island homeless.

She said in a video message: “Union Island is in a terrible state after Beryl passed. Literally, almost the whole island is homeless.

“There are hardly any buildings left standing. Houses are flattened, roads are blocked, the electricity poles are down in the streets.”

Coy added: “We’re in dire need of help. Emergency kits, food, evacuation, all of that is needed in this moment.”
