Millions have been affected by the devastation caused by the most powerful Atlantic Ocean hurricane in recorded history. Irma ripped through the Caribbean causing damage to the islands of Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, St Kitts & Nevis, St Martin and St Barts, and the Virgin Islands.
Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas and Cuba were also hit by the hurricane.
The hurricane made landfall in North America early on Sunday affecting Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Alabama. Ongoing efforts to provide supplies and aid to those trying to rebuild their lives include a UK relief fund of £32m for overseas territories.
