200 families who are in home quarantine in Lautoka have received food assistance from FRIEND Fiji.

The Commissioner Western's Office received these food rations from the Founder and CEO of FRIEND, Sashi Kiran and has distributed it to 44 communities in Lautoka.

Kiran says those families who have no food at all and have no other means of income can contact 8983183 if they live in Lautoka and 8983181 if they live in Nadi to get this assistance.

She says they also have google forms available on their facebook page.

Kiran says as people are filling this form, their people are organizing, calling and assessing the families for the food to be dropped off.

Kiran says some families in quarantine in Lautoka and Nadi have been isolated for more than two weeks now without any food assistance.

She adds this includes about 21 families who live in a squatter settlement in an urban area and they have nothing.

If you want to assist FRIEND Fiji, you can contact them on 8983183 or friend@connect.com.fj.
