Two nonprofit groups with staff members on the ground described entire communities near-decimated, more than 20,000 in evacuation centers, and ruined crops that were bound to exacerbate already-existing food insecurities. Medical supplies, food, and shelter were all needed in affected communities, the groups said. Direct Relief is preparing multiple deliveries in response to specific requests from the Fijian Ministry of Health and local hospitals.
