Fiji ? One year since Tropical Cyclone Winston.

ENG

B-roll of Red Cross rebuilding Vunikavikaloa Arya School in Ra Province, building core shelters in Nukubalavu Village, Vanua Levu Island and in Naboutolu Village, Viti Levu Island, constructing a spring protection system on Koro Island, and other work. Interviews with beneficiaries, volunteers and Fiji Red Cross Society management on what’s been achieved in the past year. 

On 20 February, 2016, Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Winston devastated large parts of Fiji. Forty--four people were killed, and 350,000 people – almost half the country’s population – were affected. 32,000 houses were destroyed or damaged.

One year on, Red Cross continues to work in the hardest-hit areas. Fiji Red Cross has so far reached 77,000 people with aid, including tarpaulins, blankets, clothing and hygiene items, and shelter toolkits, as well as clean water, health and hygiene messaging, psychosocial support, new houses, Build Back Safer training and messaging, and improved sanitation.

Fiji Red Cross is rebuilding 230-pupil Vunikavikaloa Arya School as part of the Government’s Adopt A School programme. It has also built 6 core shelters, and plans to construct a total of 35 in the worst-affected villages. These homes are built by Fiji Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) as a training exercise to help other villagers build back better and safer. Volunteers and staff will continue to work with the hardest-hit communities for the duration of the recovery operation which ends on 31 May 2017.
