Flood affected victims in Ba were given cooking stoves and four liters of kerosene per household yesterday.
The distribution was directed by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and was headed by Assistant Minister for Agriculture Viam Pillay who was accompanied by other government officials.
Pillay says while distributing the food ration it was discovered that affected families also needed the cooking facilities as it was all destroyed by the flood waters, so the Government decided to give out cooking stoves and kerosene.
The Assistant Minister says they will be distributing 1000 stoves and kerosene to the most affected families and if there is a need, more will be delivered later.
