On Abaco and Grand Bahama, the best option for many residents is to leave

It’s been a week since Hurricane Dorian devastated the Abaco Islands and part of Grand Bahama. Many residents of the stricken areas have left their ruined homes or are waiting in lines for transportation out, because leaving is their best option. Meanwhile, rescue workers continue to recover bodies, but the death toll is still unknown. Amna Nawaz reports and talks to UNICEF’s Naqib Safi.
