46% : No one on the ground was injured in the crash, according to officials.Jamaica, which analysts have said remains the hardest-hit country in the wake of Hurricane Melissa, suffered catastrophic damage and widespread destruction after the hurricane made landfall last month as a Category 5 storm.Despite the aid coming in to Jamaica and other Caribbean nations in the region hard hit by the hurricane, the storm has left over 4.8 million tons of debris blocking roads, obstructing access to schools, hospitals and clinics, farms and markets, slowing the delivery of relief supplies, and delaying the restoration of key services, based on analysis from the United Nations Development Programme.Tens of thousands of homes have been damaged, particularly in St. Elizabeth and Westmoreland in Jamaica, where whole towns were decimated and up to 90% of buildings in some areas were impacted, according to the UNDP.
