An urgent call for assistance is being made to help those who have been severely affected by Monster Tropical Cyclone Yasa.
The Rotary Club of Peninsula Sunset has started a disaster relief initiative to help the victims of Cyclone Yasa in the Northern Division.
Community Service Director Prashant Anuraag says the initiative started after seeing the video footage of the destruction that was done by Yasa in the North.
93,000 Fijians were in the direct path of the cyclone.
Anuraag says when he saw the video clip he decided to start an initiative to assist the families who have been badly affected by the cyclone.

The founder and CEO of FRIEND Fiji Sashi Kiran says the situation in the Western Division has continued to deteriorate with some families now surviving on one meal a day while some families have nothing to eat.
She says the worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and unemployment have emerged over the last two months, and they have seen the need for food in Nadi go through the roof.
Kiran adds in the last couple of weeks they have also noticed that people cannot come to their centre in Navakai to collect food because they don t even have bus fare.
