Fiji Red Cross Society has so far assisted 57 communities affected by TC Yasa

A total of 57 communities have received non-food item supplies from the Fiji Red Cross Society after the destruction caused Tropical Cyclone Yasa.

These communities include 43 from the North, 10 in the Western Division and 4 in the Eastern Division.

The non-food items consist of tarpaulins, tents, Jerry Cans, shelter toolkits, kitchen sets, mosquito nets, solar lights, hygiene kits, baby kits, dignity kits and blankets.

Apart from assisting 57 communities, the Fiji Red Cross Society with the International Committee of the Red Cross have also established a “Restoring Family Links” hotline.

The service connects family members with each other through a satellite phone after telecommunication services crashed during  TC Yasa.
