Death toll from Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas soars to 43 amid fears the number could rise further as hundreds still remain missing - media reports
A boat sits turned on its side in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, in Marsh Harbor, Abaco Island, Bahamas, Friday, September 6, 2019.
Thousands of people were left homeless on the islands of Grand Bahama and Abaco and many were becoming frustrated with the speed of relief and evacuation efforts. "We're stuck for now," said David Bienami of Marsh Harbour. "We've got plans to move but we don't know when.""Abaco Island is like a ghost town," said Mark Duvinie, a resident of Marsh Harbour. "No electricity, no water, no nothing."
Mortuary workers in white hazmat suits, blue gloves and masks could be seen in Marsh Harbour carrying corpses encased in green body bags and loading them onto flatbed trucks. "Of the 178 employees and contractors who work at the club, we located roughly 100 of them," DeSmith told AFP. "There is still a fairly large number of people unaccounted for."What little they had was wiped out," he added. "It's a tragedy."
