Hurricane Dorian: Witnessing Bahamas aftermath shows 'historic tragedy'

• Video report by ITV News Correspondent Robert Moore

Late last night we reached Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco Island.

It is the single most destroyed community in the Bahamas.

The scene is one of enormous destruction and there are almost no buildings left in tact.

It looks more like a major earthquake has struck this town than a hurricane.

The infrastructure has collapsed completely.

There is no power, no fuel, the roads are flooded and most ominously there is almost a complete breakdown of law and order.

We drove past widespread looting. It appeared to be less like criminal activity, but ordinary people desperate for supplies.

It is not clear when security forces will arrive to take control. The few police officers here are overwhelmed.

When you see this place with your own eyes you can understand why the Prime Minister of the Bahamas has called this an historic tragedy.
