Fiji – 100 days since Tropical Cyclone Winston – B-roll of cyclone damage and psychological first aid activities in Nukubalavu Village, Savusavu town, Vanua Levu Island. Interviews with beneficiaries, volunteers, and delegates on psychological first aid, and with Fiji Red Cross Society management on what’s been achieved in the first 100 days and what still needs to be done.
On 20 February, 2016, Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Winston devastated large parts of Fiji. 350,000 people – almost half the country’s population – were affected, and 32,000 houses were destroyed or damaged.
100 days later, much has been achieved. Fiji Red Cross has reached 63,000 people with emergency aid, including tarpaulins, blankets, clothing and hygiene items, as well as shelter toolkits and psychosocial support.
However, the Cyclone Winston appeal is only 69 per cent covered, and there is much work still to be done in the areas of shelter, water and sanitation, hygiene and health promotion and psychological first aid. Fiji Red Cross is asking the international community not to forget about those who are still suffering 100 days on from the worst cyclone to ever hit Fiji.
