Over 2,000 people and around 50 families who have been affected by Tropical Cyclone Mick and the flash floods have been assisted by the Fiji Red Cross with many more expected to be assisted over the next few days.
Red Cross Operations manager, Vuli Gauna said they have a total of 17 teams out in the field and are still collecting data.
He adds they are working with the National Disaster Centre and are handing out blankets and cooking utensils in the affected areas in the Central and Western Division.
According to assessments from Fiji Red Cross a total of 54 homes were completely destroyed.
Meanwhile, Acting Director DISMAC Pajiliai Dobui said initial assessments indicate that the Rewa Delta may have been the worst hit as several areas were still flooded yesterday.
Arrangements are also being made to carry out aerial surveys of islands in the Yasawa's, Kadavu, Gau, Levuka, Beqa and Kadavu.
The total number of evacuees following the aftermath of cyclone Mick stood at 3,845.
The Western Division recorded the most with 2,081 people.
The villagers in Delailasakau, Naitasiri are without food right now as most of their dalo and cassava plantations have been totally destroyed in the floods during Tropical Cyclone Mick.
Village headman, Ratu Lino Taukeinikoro said with Christmas round the corner, the villagers were relying on their plantation for money to buy groceries, school books for their children and other necessities, and all that has now been destroyed.
Taukeinikoro adds what the villagers are doing right now is clearing the debris left behind by the floods and the young men have gone into the forest to see what food they may have left, mainly "tivoli", a yam species, for food.
The village of Delailasaku also relied on their banana plantation which has also been destroyed.
