Kameli Naitini of Votua Village in Lekutu, Bua says what they went through as Tropical Cyclone Yasa wreaked havoc in the Northern Division is something they never experienced before.

Naitini says they were taking shelter at the Lekutu District School when TC Yasa was hovering the Province of Bua and the strength of the wind damaged the school building.

He says some of the families had to take cover under the floor of classrooms because the roof was blown away and they stayed there until the weather calmed down as they feared for their lives.

Naitini says what he could hear and see will stay with him for the rest of his life.

He adds they are thankful for the government for their visit and are also grateful that support and assistance is on the way.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama is currently in the Northern Division to visit areas that have been severely affected by Tropical Cyclone Yasa.

10,000 food ration packs and non-food items have been sent to the North which is for people in evacuation centres and those in need.
