- Charities, government agencies and even cruise ships loaded with supplies and volunteers rushed emergency aid to the storm-ravaged Bahamas on Saturday amid fears of a “staggering” death toll left in the wake of Hurricane Dorian.
The U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies have already provided help with U.S. Northern Command chief General Terrance O’Shaughnessy arriving in Nassau on Friday to assess the needs. Dorian also devastated parts of the Outer Banks Islands in North Carolina, on Friday and it continued to push northward along the U.S. Atlantic coast early on Saturday.
The Bahamas hade only a slight, 10 percent, chance of rain Saturday that was not expected to hamper relief efforts as Bahamas Health Minister Duane Sands spoke of “a tremendous loss of life.”The medical chief of staff at Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau said two refrigerated, 40-foot trucks would be needed to hold the “staggering” number of bodies likely to be found.The United Nations estimated 70,000 people were in “immediate need of life-saving assistance” such as food, water and shelter.
