A Royal Navy warship has set sail to the Cayman Islands to support Hurricane Beryl relief efforts after the powerful storm tore through islands in the south-east Caribbean
Hurricane Beryl has wreaked havoc across the Caribbean. At least seven people have been killed since it began whirling. The Royal Navy is sending HMS Trent to provide humanitarian aid, the Ministry of Defence said.
The storm, previously rated Category 5, could bring winds of more than 155mph to the area, according to the MoD. HMS Trent departed from Puerto Rico on Wednesday carrying bottled water, basic emergency supplies and other equipment, with more than 50 sailors on board. Earlier today, King Charles expressed his 'profound sadness' at the destruction and loss of life caused by Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean.
