Rescue Workers Continue Search for Bodies, Survivors in Bahamas

VOA News

   Rescue workers in the Bahamas continued their task of searching for
   bodies and survivors amid the destruction of Hurricane Dorian as police
   urged residents to register details of those still missing.

   Police said Monday the current death toll from the storm is 45, but
   expect the number of fatalities to rise.

   "There are many more persons presumed missing and we are appealing to
   the public to file Missing Persons reports," police said in a statement
   late Sunday.

   Hundreds, if not thousands, of people are believed to be missing
   following the storm, which struck a week ago as a Category 5 hurricane
   with winds of up to 320 kph.
