In response to the reports of the devastation experienced in The Bahamas as a result of Hurricane Dorian, the Chairman of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Allen Chastenet, has assured the island state of CARICOM’s solidarity and pledged to assist with whatever help may be required.
The chairman spoke of the “heavy hearts” of the Caribbean people on hearing of the severe battering meted out by Hurricane Dorian to one of its member states, with five deaths reported thus far in what Prime Minister Hubert Minnis has described as “a historic tragedy.” On behalf of Caribbean Community he expressed his deepest condolences “to all who have lost loved ones to this devastating storm.”
