ACC International Relief has launched a Disaster Relief Appeal to help communities affected by category four Cyclone Tomas which struck Fiji on Tuesday 12th March.
Fiji declared a state of emergency, with lives lost and up to 17,000 people evacuated from their homes. The homeless are being accommodated in 240 evacuation centres. Winds up to 230 km and waves 8-10 metres have been reported. The Australian Government will provide up to $1 million to Fiji’s National Disaster Management Office to help pay for transporting aid and relief. The numbers of people lost and the full extent of damage won’t be known until communications have been restored.
ACC International Relief will be partnering with AOG Fiji in providing aid and relief to affected communities. Tarpaulins, water purification tablets, containers, food and medical supplies will definitely be needed.
