MARSH HARBOUR, Bahamas - The smell of death hung over parts of Great Abaco Island in the northern Bahamas, where relief workers on Friday sifted through the debris of shattered homes and buildings in a search expected to dramatically drive up the death toll from Hurricane Dorian.
Chaotic conditions around the islands were interfering with flights and boats, hampering relief efforts. Many clinics in the northern Bahamas, however, are flooded and unable to receive the injured, and there aren’t enough working ambulances on the islands to transport victims to field hospitals and triage centers.
The U.S. Coast Guard, working with the National Emergency Management Agency in the Bahamas, has rescued 295 people since Dorian began, the U.S. embassy in Nassau tweeted.
