The UK government has announced a support package for the Caribbean islands affected by Hurricane Beryl. This package aims to provide emergency assistance and long-term recovery support to the regions impacted by the disaster.

The package includes the delivery of essential supplies such as food, water, medical supplies, and temporary shelters. A team of emergency response specialists has also been deployed to coordinate on-site assistance. Additionally, significant funds have been allocated for the restoration of infrastructure, including housing, schools, hospitals, and utilities.

Recognizing the importance of tourism to the Caribbean economy, part of the assistance will be directed towards restoring tourist attractions and promoting the region as a safe and attractive travel destination. Joint marketing campaigns with local tourism boards are planned.

The support package also includes sustainable development initiatives, such as investments in green infrastructure and renewable energy sources, to help the regions better prepare for future natural disasters.

This support package highlights the UK's commitment to aiding its overseas territories and neighboring countries in difficult times, facilitating their swift recovery and sustainable development.
