[quote:Anonymous Coward 69412887:MV8zMDk1NTQ4XzU1MTQ0MTg1Xzk1MzU3MUE=] [quote:grumpier:MV8zMDk1NTQ4XzU1MTQyMzE2XzY3NzczNjVC] Thanks Pillar, a disaster for the people over there. Do you have any idea when they can expect the first ships with help for rebuilding, being so remote. :take care: [/quote] The airport at Nadi was not too badly damaged, and flights will resume today, New Zealand (and probably Australia too) will get relief there ASAP. The relief staff are already there, and have been since before the cyclone struck. [/quote]

Scale of Destruction Still Unknown
Relief efforts continue to be difficult because of ongoing stormy weather, severe flooding in many areas, fallen power lines, mudslides and a lack of electricity.
80% of the nation's 900,000 people were without regular electricity supplies.
