Hurricane Beryl Delays Regional 25 by 2025 Goals, Says President Ali
The Caribbean’s Regional 25 by 2025 initiative aimed to boost economic growth, reduce poverty rates, and improve healthcare and education standards by 25%. However, Hurricane Beryl has had far-reaching impacts, causing significant economic losses and infrastructure damage across several islands. Moreover, it disrupted daily life and led to a significant humanitarian crisis, leaving people with limited access to clean water, food, and healthcare services. Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali has announced immediate relief efforts and long-term recovery plans. The hurricane’s impact also has several implications for the United States, including economic ties, humanitarian aid, and regional stability.
