Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said the deaths were confirmed at the north-eastern Abaco Islands, which bore the brunt of the storm.<\/p>\n

Some 13,000 houses are feared damaged or destroyed, according to the International Red Cross.<\/p>\n

Dorian, the second-strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, remains “extremely dangerous”, Mr Minnis said.<\/p>\n

Dorian is the most powerful storm to hit the Bahamas since records began and will later move “dangerously close” to the US east coast, according to forecasters.<\/p>\n

It hit the Bahamas as a category five hurricane but has now weakened to a category four with maximum sustained winds near 150mph (240 km\/h), says the US National Hurricane Center (NHC).<\/p>\n

The US states of Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina have all declared states of emergency.<\/p>\n
