New Zealand has today launched an emergency appeal to help

As cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in
Fiji, Save the Children is providing grocery packs to feed
the hundreds of hungry children whose families’ incomes
have been impacted.
This week, Save the Children Fiji
delivered grocery packs containing much-needed food
supplies, soap, surgical masks, nappies and sanitary pads to

being born into a strained maternity system which leaves new
