According to the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency, about 15 000 people need shelter or food.

On Thursday, spokesman for the Bahamian Emergency Management Agency Karl Smith said 1300 people are still reported missing. Earlier, officials said that the number of missing persons was not verified by the records of evacuated or thousands of people in shelters, which makes it difficult to compile lists of the dead.

Thousands of people scattered around the islands. More than 5000 people were on the island of New Providence, where the capital of Nassau is located. Authorities plan to build tent camps in Nassau and Abaco, one of the most affected islands, where sheltered for about 4000 people.

Hurricane Dorian collapsed on the part of the archipelago with winds of 185 miles per hour (297 km / h) on September 1, after which it was delayed for almost two days, leaving death and destruction behind before returning back to the Atlantic.

As the country tries to get out of the devastating storm, limited commercial flights have resumed on Abako, but the electrical infrastructure around Marsh Harbor, the island’s largest city, has been destroyed.

In an effort to meet immediate and long-term needs, golfer Tiger Woods and singer and actor Justin Timberlake helped create the One Bahamas Fund. They teamed up with the Nexus Luxury Collection, Royal Bank of Canada and members of the Albany Bahamas resort community to create a foundation.

Woods, Timberlake and South African golfer Ernie Els are co-owners of Albany, a luxurious 600 acre resort based on New Providence Island in the Bahamas in 2010.

Woods and Timberlake pledged 6 million dollars in external donations. It is planned to collect at least 12 million dollars.

The fund aims to provide housing, food and clothing in the short term, as well as assisting in the design and development of infrastructure needs for communities and small enterprises.

“It's terrible to watch a video and hear stories about the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian,” said Woods, who called the need in the Bahamas “very real.”
