THIRTY-FIVE PEOPLE are still missing as Dominicans continue to rebuild in the wake of Tropical Storm Erika.
Two communities on the southeast coast remain cut off from the rest of the island as the number of bodies recovered stands at 11, said Dominica’s Minister of Education Petter Saint Jean.
He gave the update during a conference call with members of the Dominica Association of Barbados at the Black Rock Cultural Centre last night. The association invited Dominicans here to a meeting to update them on the relief effort for affected members of their country.
Saint Jean, who stood in for Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit who was out visiting affected communities, said via Skype that 751 residents from Petite Savanne and 150 people in Bagatelle had to be evacuated from the storm-ravaged communities.
