Work continues day and night on the Emergency Field Hospital. Distributions in the Abacos are now underway. Our DC-8 aircraft is making daily flights to and from the Bahamas the rest of this week to deliver personnel and relief supplies.
In total, Samaritan’s Purse now has 80 staff members on the ground in the Bahamas.
Hurricane Dorian made multiple landfalls in the Bahamas on Sept. 1, packing maximum sustained winds of 185 mph, with gusts up to 225 mph. The then-Category 5 storm stalled over the archipelago for almost two days, devastating the Abaco Islands (Elbow Cay and Marsh Harbour) and Grand Bahama. Reports indicate that around half or more of all homes were damaged or destroyed in some areas.
Emergency rescues continue across the islands. The death toll has climbed to 45 and will likely continue to rise. Hundreds are missing.
“We are in the midst of one of the greatest national crises in our country’s history,” said Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis.
