On 22 November 2017 Thomson Reuters Foundation reported: With thousands left homeless by hurricanes in Caribbean island farming and fishing communities, international donors have pledged more than $2 billion to support rebuilding efforts. Hurricane Irma, packing winds of 185 miles (298 km) an hour, ravaged a series of small islands in the northeast Caribbean in early September, followed by Hurricane Maria. Tourism-reliant Dominica and the two-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda were hardest hit, and require billions of dollars in long-term aid to recover, experts said. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of government, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

Rebuilding Dominica, Barbuda, and the British Virgin Islands will cost more than $5 billion, according to latest U.N. estimates, and the figure is expected to increase significantly as damage assessments on other islands are completed.
