Naga Kandiah Supports Family Seeking UK Settlement After Hurricane Melissa
The Guardian reports on Lati-Yana Stephanie Brown, an eight-year-old Jamaican girl, who was left homeless after Hurricane Melissa destroyed her family home in Jamaica. She had already been waiting for months to join her mother and British father in the UK, who applied for her settlement visa in June 2025 after saving more than £4,000 for the application fee.
Naga Kandiah said:
“An eight-year-old girl has been separated from her parents not by choice but because her family needed time to save the exceptionally high fees required by the Home Office.”
He added that although the family had “worked tirelessly, followed every rule and fulfilled every requirement,” their daughter was left thousands of miles away. Following Hurricane Melissa, he said, she was left with “no shelter, no security and no certainty about tomorrow.”
