Minister Bulitavu leads ration delivery to cyclone-affected families

More than 50 families affected by Tropical Cyclone Vaianu have received food ration assistance as Government relief efforts continue in the Western Division.

Minister for Rural and Maritime Development and Disaster Management Mosese Bulitavu joined teams on the ground to deliver supplies and meet affected families in Nawaqadrua Village in Ba, Drasa Settlement in Lautoka, and Momi Village in Nadroga.

The assistance follows flooding and disruptions experienced earlier this week.

While relief is being distributed, teams remain on the ground conducting initial damage assessments to determine the full extent of the impact and guide the next phase of support.

Efforts are being coordinated through the National Disaster Risk Management Office, working closely with response agencies and partners to ensure assistance reaches those most in need.

Mr Bulitavu acknowledged the resilience shown by affected communities and the support extended among neighbours.

He also reassured families that Government assistance would continue as recovery efforts progress, with a focus on ensuring no one is left behind as communities begin to rebuild.
