It's been almost a week since Hurricane Dorian ravaged the Bahamas. After Hurricane Dorian ends in the Bahama's more individuals were confirmed dead after the tragic storm. Dorian's death toll in the Bahamas climbed to fifty on Monday as more deaths were reported from the storm that plowed through the country last week. Forty-two individuals were found in Abaco and eight individuals were recovered on Grand Bahama. Last week the death toll was 35 now it has risen to 50. However even if the deaths were confirmed there are still thousands of individuals missing. Rescue workers were going door or door including the U.S Coast Guard helicopters were evacuating critically injured residents. A Bahamas cruise ship ferried more than 1,100 Bahamians to the United States, and Customs and Border Protection delivered food and water by helicopter. They carried as much as water as possibly they could take. On Great Abaco, the storm's devastation was evident in wrecked boats, flattened homes and downed power lines. 70,000 individuals are homeless. There is no power or running water. Aid is arriving slowly on the island of Grand Bahama, where Dorian parked for almost two days and caused damage one usually witnesses in a war zone.
