Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pictured in the background, UK military passengers board an RAF A400M Atlas transport aircraft in Barbados, preparing to deliver UK aid to Caribbean islands stricken by Hurricane Irma. In the foreground is some of the equipment brought in by the Atlas earlier in the day.

Royal Air Force logisticians from RAF Brize Norton have assisted with the delivery of military personnel and aid cargo to the Caribbean to support disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane IRMA.

RAF aircraft - including C-17, A400M and Voyager aircraft - supported a joint task force of RAF, Royal Marines, Army and Royal Navy personnel who supported the Department for International Development as it delivered aid to stricken Caribbean islands.

In early September 2017 Hurricane Irma moved through the Caribbean region, causing absolute devastation wherever it landed. The British Overseas Territories of Anguilla, the Turks and Caicos Islands and the British Virgin Islands suffered lasting damage.

All three services and other government departments, along with hundreds of troops were involved in the huge humanitarian effort. Ships, planes and helicopters delivered tonnes of supplies to the UK nationals and locals caught up in the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma.
