Fiji Cyclone appeal

UN's Central Emergency Response Fund release US$8 million towards Fiji Cyclone appeal

The Funds was made available after the Government of Fiji and the United Nations Friday launched an appeal for US$38.6 million in critical emergency relief to 350,000 people in need after Cyclone Winston's fury left the island nation “a loss of catastrophic proportions.”

“In light of the enormous and long process to recovery and rehabilitation ahead of us, and in the name of the Fijian people, I am calling on the international community's assistance,”  Fiji Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said.
