Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu orders an Israeli medical and aid delegation to fly to Jamaica after a record-breaking hurricane hits the island, according to his office.
At least 28 people died as a result of the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa, along with at least 31 in Haiti, after the Category 5 hurricane hit the islands on Tuesday with winds of as much as 185 mph (295 kph).
