Hurricane Irma Devastation Continues
Hurricane Irma continues to sweep through the Caribbean.
Hurricane Irma continues to sweep through the Caribbean. Some of the first-hit islands are said to be "barely habitable" and 95% of Saint-Martin is destroyed. The storm is now heading towards Cuba and is expected to make landfall in the US on Saturday. Also, the UN says as many as 164,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled into Bangladesh, and the first museum of its kind in the Arab world opens soon.
