THE New Caledonian Government has decided to help the people of Fiji by giving XPF 15million ($F0.30m)in the aftermath of Severe TC Winston.

The funds were directed to three organisations of the mobilisations in the aftermath of the monster storm.

The first amount was XPF 900,000 ($F17,733) and has been given to the Fiji Red Cross Society for the acquisition of first aid relief supplies, which were brought on board the French Patrol ship La Moqueuse.

The New Caledonian Government stated the cargo comprised of 100 tarps, 200 mats, 200 jerry cans and 150 first aid kits (tool, health and kitchen kits). Each of these kits should cover the needs of a family of five people.

The second amount XPF 7,050,000 ($F0.14m) was paid to UNICEF to support its relief campaigns in the 12 areas considered as true priorities.
