The Shree Sanatan Dharm Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji says they are currently planning their next phase of assistance which is the distribution of stationery to students in affected areas.

President, Sarju Prasad says they are yet to discuss this with the National Executive Council.

They have distributed more than 500 ration packs to families in the Northern Division which is worth $10,000.

Prasad says they have reached out to areas such as Nabouwalu, Vunivau, Seaqaqa and Dreketi and they are currently focusing on the greater Labasa area.

He says these food packs include essential items such as rice, flour, sugar, tea leaves, oil, tin fish and soap.

Prasad says people from Suva and Nausori have also donated some building materials which will be distributed to people who have lost their homes.
