Hurricane Dorian, a category five hurricane, swept the Bahama islands of Abaco and Grand Bahama on 1 September 2019. At least 43 people died following the passage of Dorian that stalled over the Bahamas for nearly two days with winds of 200 mph, becoming one of the worst disasters in the nation’s history
Across Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama, airports and seaports are increasingly becoming operational, allowing assistance to be delivered. However, access to affected people, in particular in Abaco Islands remains challenging, including due to damaged roads and infrastructure
