The Bahamas flee from the hurricane-stricken islands

The Bahamas have begun to abandon the exercises hardest hit by Hurricane Dorian's progress two days last week.

Of the 400,000 people who inhabit the Bahamas, at least 70,000 are in immediate need of humanitarian action after their home is destroyed, the UN writes on its news site.

From Abaco Island there is shuttle service of aircraft, helicopters and boats that take people to safety. The island is largely uninhabitable with growing mountains of bodies, lack of water, food and electricity.

- People have to leave, there are too many dead bodies here. There is no safe place here, everything is ruined, 75-year-old Firstina Swain tells Reuters.

The death toll rose to 43 during Friday, but is expected to rise further, according to local authorities. Still can thousands of people.

Already on Friday, thousands of people gathered at the ports of Great Abaco and Grand Bahama, two of the worst affected islands, to get help from there.

There will also be information that several cruise boats help with deliveries to and evacuation from several of the hardest hit islands, CNN writes.

The frustration at the place is great and the situation is described by many as chaotic.

- Only animals can live here, Gee Rolle summarizes the situation for the AP while waiting for the evacuation boat.

While Prime Minister Hubert Minnis called for calm and promises more transport, criticism is growing.

Many feel that the authorities have not done enough, fast enough.

Already on Friday, private boats and aircraft should have been seen to help with the evacuation while the authorities awaited the arrival of other means of transport.

According to the Bahamas Health Ministry, both helicopters and boats are expected to be delayed due to flooding, the BBC reports.

During the intense days that Dorian pulled over the Bahamas, winds measured almost 300 kilometers per hour and some parts received nearly 90 centimeters of rain.

Now that the hurricane has moved up along the east coast of North America toward Canada, it has been downgraded to category one.

During Saturday the winds were up to 140 kilometers per hour and the rainfall must have slowed down as well.
