Locals and travellers alike have been moved to shelters as the Category 4 storm lashes the islands

The Foreign Office has issued fresh guidance for UK nationals, stating 'all airports are shut' amid the 'armageddon' hurricane damage. The announcement comes as Hurricane Beryl wreaks havoc in the Caribbean, causing widespread destruction and claiming at least seven lives.

In a recent update for UK citizens, the Foreign Office stated: "A major hurricane is passing Jamaica on 3 July. Disruption to services is expected island-wide. International and domestic airports are now closed and will only reopen when assessed safe to do so. You should follow and monitor local and international weather updates from the US National Hurricane Center and follow the advice of local authorities including any evacuation orders.

"We can do as much as we can do, as humanly possible, and we leave the rest in the hands of God," Mr Holness commented. The government's information service reported that several roadways in the country's interior settlements were obstructed by fallen trees and utility poles, while some northern communities experienced power outages.
