At least three people are reported dead in Grenada and the island remains virtually cut off from the rest of the world after widespread devastation caused by Hurricane Ivan which also dealt a severe blow to parts of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Donovan Gentles, a senior officer at the Barbados-based Caribbean Disaster Response Agency, CDERA, told BBC Caribbean Radio that telecommunications were down in Grenada. "Early reports out of Grenada suggest that the city of St. George's is almost totally devastated. We have not been able to confirm much of that information because we have lost contact with that island at present. "This morning we are trying to mobilise our resources to go into Grenada so that we can get some first hand information, but all indications are that the island of Grenada was the most severely impacted," Mr Gentles said. A meeting of regional and international donor agencies is being convened this morning at CDERA's offices in Bridgetown. Houses flattened Meanwhile, Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Patrick Manning said Grenadian Prime Minister Keith Mitchell had reported that his home had been flattened along with many others. Trinidad and Tobago is providing US$1.6 million in immediate assistance to Grenada and Mr Manning has also said he will send a contingent of soldiers to Grenada at Mr Mitchell’s request, according to the Caribbean news agency. In St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the BBC Caribbean reporter Jerry George said there have been no fatalities but many injuries have been reported. "There has been a lot of property damage. There’s been a report of some 120 houses losing their roofs. The hardest hit area has been the Grenadines. The small islands of the Grenadines where on Union Island one of the most southern of the islands, the hospital there completely lost its roof and in fact had its staff huddled in one room for most of the hurricane. "On Palm Island, one of the resorts there seems to have recorded quite a lot of damage, including the jetty so that not even boats can go to the island. In the north-eastern area of the island some 90 houses were lost around the shoreline." A Hurricane warning remains in effect for Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. Jamaica which expects Ivan’s winds to reach it by Friday has been preparing to weather the storm. Source: BBCCaribbean.com
