A family in Naqali, Naitasiri, has been living in a makeshift shed after their breadwinner lost his job during the COVID-19 lockdown last year.
Salome Bose said their home was made of timber and roofing iron they had bought to construct a permanent dwelling.
Speaking to The Fiji Times, she said they depended on neighbours for water and electricity. “We are using whatever we can find around us such as rourou, dalo and cassava to survive,” Ms Bose said.
