Haiti - Bahamas : 113 Haitians repatriated to Port-au-Prince
On Thursday, December 12, the Bahamas repatriated 113 Haitians in an irregular migration situation to Haiti (via a Bahamasair flight which left the archipelago at 10:10 a.m.) bound for Port-au-Prince.

The group included the 39 undocumented Haitian migrants arrested Wednesday on a small island off the south coast of Great Inagua.

Note that with this flight of 113 Haitians, 453 compatriots have been repatriated since the passage of Dorian.

In addition, in the past two months, at least 4 groups of Haitian boat people have been intercepted in the waters of the Bahamas...
