A FORMER Fiji Airways flight attendant says hundreds of her colleagues who lost their jobs and those who were working in the tourism industry are in a very desperate situation and in need of immediate help.
Phyllis Vatucawaqa made the emotional plea to national leaders during the Fiji Civil Society Organisation Alliance for COVID-19 Humanitarian Response two-day listening forum last week in Nadi.
She said she had decided to be the voice of hundreds of Fijians in the Western Division who were laid off work a year ago and continued to struggle today as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
