Like Puerto Rico,

the Bahamian airports are flooded and unusable.

I don't understand. We have hundreds of helicopters, and V-22 Osprey VTOL aircraft, yet these assets are not assisting a humanitarian crisis.

Drop in portable aid stations with generators and sanitation, water and food.

This is what our armed forces train for. Put the training to a real life test.

More death and destruction and the orange ass just doesn't care.

I don't know if the Bahamanian government has asked the US for help. Due to its British colonial past, the UK Royal Navy is likely to offer assistance.

ETA:. UK Royal Navy is providing assistance.
