(Reuters) – The leaders of small Caribbean island nations on Thursday said that financial damages wrought by the passage of Hurricane Beryl would run beyond their capacities and urged lenders to ease financing to address the worsening impacts of climate change.

The prime ministers of Grenada and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines each said in a conference that damages from Beryl would run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, and warned that their communities could not face another hurricane this season.
