More humanitarian supplies have arrived from Australia as another Royal Australian Air Force aircraft landed in Nausori yesterday.

The Australian High Commissioner to Fiji John Feakes says the supplies include generators and big tents for families that are affected by Tropical Cyclone Harold.

Feakes thanks The Republic of Fiji Military Force for helping in unloading and transporting these supplies.

Feakes says this aircraft is also carrying some supplies for Tuvalu.

Meanwhile the Australian Defence Adviser, Robert Haertsch says this is the fourth aircraft carrying humanitarian supplies to support Fiji.

Haertsch says the first three were C-17 aircrafts and the one that landed yesterday was a C-130.
