The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis, through the Prime Minister’s Office has successfully coordinated the evacuation of St. Kitts and Nevis nationals studying in Jamaica as Hurricane Melissa continues to intensify.
A chartered flight carrying twenty-seven (27) students departed from Kingston, Jamaica on Saturday evening, bound for Turks and Caicos and on to St. Kitts on Sunday October 26, 2025.
Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew said the decision to act swiftly was driven by the Government’s fervent commitment to the safety and well-being of all nationals abroad.
Arrangements have also been made for students who opted to remain in Jamaica. Through coordination with the University of the West Indies (UWI) and the St. Kitts and Nevis Student Association (SKNSA), these students are being accommodated at a designated hotel that meets safety and emergency standards. The University has also confirmed that official shelters remain available should further precautions become necessary.
The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis continues to monitor the situation closely in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and remains in active communication with regional partners and CARICOM institutions. Nationals in affected territories are advised to remain alert, follow the guidance of local authorities and maintain communication with their respective embassies.

Hmmmmm Antigua only bring home students at election time when their votes are needed
While Antigua put their own in a hotel after the tourism minister of Jamaica was urging the hotel association to liaise with the airlines to ensure maximum seats are available to get people out.
Watch and learn Gatson, watch and learn.
I came in here since last week and advice you to get the student’s out, but you don’t listen.
Now here we are with this monster coming straight for Jamaica.
But how ironic it is that you’re in Dominica smiling and posing with criminals like Vybe Cartel.
Real joker..bout this man cares. This man is a self centered fool that only listens to his ego. Real dummy. I just hope Pegasus is still there by the time this thing passes.
And to the students if you are reading this..do everything you need to do to stay alive.
God speed.
Smart move sir …. A hotel is not the best option .. we are talking about a category 5… no need to experience that if you don’t have to…
Watch and learn islanman 26 and the other dive under the bed; run for cover punks of your ilk I am sure you would be the last to donate to a special fund for the evacuation of our students from Jamaica. Talk, especially in this context, is extremely cheap.
Gassy will show you how it’s done.
Ungrateful, Pitiful, Punks
