A Guyanese Needs Assessment Team yesterday met with the Guyanese community living on the hurricane-ravaged island of St Maarten, where it was told that basic food items are among the immediate needs.
The visit by the Guyanese delegation is part of government’s effort to coordinate relief for Guyanese nationals affected by Hurricane Irma.
Minister of Citizenship Winston Felix did not accompany members of the team as was expected and this newspaper was unable to ascertain the reason for his absence.
