Assistant Secretary Akhilash Prasad said volunteers have already distributed rations at multiple settlements throughout the western division, and many of the victims have said that their families had to take refuge on the rooftops of their homes just to survive the flooding.
Prasad today said they will be targeting areas in Ba, which have been inaccessible by roads.
Also, the Australian government has announced a further assistance of $3 million to respond to the floods in Fiji.
Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Stephen Smith said the $3 million includes $1 million for emergency flood assistance and $2 million for longer term recovery and reconstruction adding following the scale of the crisis, it is appropriate that Australia offers what assistance they can to help the people of Fiji.
