We gave the FCOSS number and the lifeline toll free number and also welcomed any feedback or questions they have about any NGOs.

I had a listener calling my mobile phone (she knew me) immediately after to thank us for the information and suggested we follow up with progress on another session.

CONCLUSION

The above concludes this report. It is noted from the divisional reports received and analysis of information provided that there have been some major changes in all divisions. The distribution of food ration has covered all affected villages and communities with the Tikina’s of Nasau and Lawaki covered today. Malolo Island was also covered today by the RFNS Kiro Of concern are the two stoning incidents recorded in the Central Division this week where and FEA contracted vehicle was stoned in Logani and a Police vehicle stoned in Kuku. With such incidents occurring, the safety of the officers in the district levels can be compromised. DVEOC (C) have also been notified to follow through on the report they submitted regarding the sale of food ration by some recipients.
