In the Bahamas, the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian is proving to be just as dangerous and potentially worse than the storm itself, but armed-militias are attempting to keep the peace.
The Abaco Islands, the worst-hit of the archipelago
according to BBC, are allegedly suffering a larger death toll than being reported.
Bahamas Press states, “We are learning that only one police officer is stationed in Treasure Cay, Abaco. A plane landed there and was robbed immediately.”
“We are also learning of reports that, when survivors land in Nassau, they’re being told not to speak about all the deaths and seeing the many dead bodies all across Abaco.”
The
UN estimates that 76,000 people are in danger of dying from starvation or disease due to a lack of food and clean drinking water.
Besides starvation, dehydration and disease, violent individuals desperate for supplies are also a threat to survivors on the islands.
