Situation Overview
By now, their DC-8 had made 11 airlifts carrying 247 tons of emergency aid while their helicopter and Cessna Caravan plane had made 123 and 54 flights respectively.
In addition to delivering aid to communities on Grand Bahama and Great Abaco Island, their teams distributed tarps, generators, solar lights and hygiene kits to numerous remote communities such as Man-O-War Cay, Treasure Cay and Moore’s Island. They had a mobile unit converting seawater to drinking water in Cooperstown and a fixed locaton on Grand Bahama. So far, they’ve provided 15,500 gallons of clean water for the residents.
FINAL REMARKS: God bless Samaritan’s Purse Charity and partners; they’ve walked in as strangers and walked out as family….and friends!
