The DISMAC Western Office has refuted claims that they are not providing food rations to those affected in the Western Division.
Taniela Vocevoce said they have been providing food rations to all evacuation centres in Nadi, Lautoka and Ba, despite the lack of transport to cart the rations to and from the centres. He adds at the moment they only have two trucks which are being used.
Vocevoce also said the number of people in the various evacuation centres in the West has increased. He adds that now 3,780 people are at the evacuation centres.
Right now there are currently 114 Evacuation Centres with 6,626 people occupying them in the Western and Central Division and some sheltering at these centres say they are running out of food or have been without food since Friday.

Principal DISMAC Officer, Patiliai Dobui said people must not expect too much in the form of food as they can only give what they have right now.
Dobui adds once a proper valuation of the situation is carried out then more rations will be given out to the different evacuations centrs.
Dobui said they appreciate all the help that is coming their way.
Meanwhile Dobui said they are also concerned about Nadi as rain continues in the area. DISMAC is mindful of the high tide which is expected at 7:21 tonight.
The Queens Highway is now open from Suva to Nadi.
