The death toll in the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian is officially at 50. However, a National Emergency Management Agency spokesman said that 2,500 people are still missing.

“As we are able to cross-reference our data sets, we will be able to inform family members and reunite survivors with loved ones,” Carl Smith, a spokesman for the Bahamian National Emergency Management Agency, told the New York Times, which reported on the figure of those who are still missing.
