Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says Fiji’s agricultural sector saw over $27 million of damages from the immense levels of rain and flooding throughout Fiji during TC Harold while the Fiji Roads Authority infrastructure including our roads and jetties took a $22 million hit.
Bainimarama adds that overall, more than 180,000 Fijians saw their homes, their lives and livelihoods suffer from the brunt of TC Harold.
The Prime Minister says more than 500 homes were destroyed, with many hundreds more suffering damage.
Bainimarama further says as they have made it clear from the start, help is on the way for affected Fijians.
He adds for many, that help has already arrived, with food rations being delivered and clean-up commenced in some of our hardest-hit areas.
The Prime Minister says electricity and water supply has been restored for most of the country and as we pick up the pieces from TC Harold’s wrath, we can again devote ourselves to an enemy that will last far longer than any storm –– COVID-19.
