The fund is helping to rebuild the lives of more than 20,000 Bahamians who were affected by the catastrophic Hurricane Dorian in September, where bad weather has delayed the arrival of emergency relief.
The British Red Cross also has mental health specialists in the affected area providing emotional support after the traumatic weather events.

The Red Cross has also opened up cases of missing persons, with the hope of reuniting families.
