Abaco: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Saturday visited the Bahamas to support humanitarian efforts in the wake of Dorian, which hit as a Category 5 storm that left thousands in need of food, water, and shelter.
After visiting Abaco island, Guterres said, "I deeply feel enormous gratitude for what you are doing and you can be sure that this generosity that you are showing, this effort that you are making is worth it."
Tropical Storm Humberto moved away from the Bahamas on Saturday after dumping rain on parts of the archipelago's northwest region that were already hammered by Hurricane Dorian two weeks ago.
The list of missing stands at an alarming 1,300 people and the death toll at 50.
But officials caution the list is preliminary and many people could just be unable to connect with their loved ones.
The storm originally threatened to exacerbate the nation's problems, but conditions appeared to normalise after Saturday afternoon.
The Bahamian government discontinued a tropical storm warning after the US National Hurricane Center said that Humberto was located about 70 miles (113 kilometers) north of Great Abaco Island and was moving 7 miles per hour (11 kilometres per hour) north-northwest with maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour (80 kilometres per hour).
Weather forecasters say Humberto will likely become a hurricane by Sunday night as it moves away from the Bahamas and the US coast, but won't threaten land by the time it intensifies to that strength.
Its swells, however, could still affect the coasts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina later this weekend and early next week.
