Torrential rains lasting over a week have caused the worst flooding in the history of the nation. Major<\/p>\n<p>rivers have overflooded their banks burying towns along with the their business and residential districts.<\/p>\n<p>Many people were trapped on their rooftops and had to be rescused by helicopters or boats. People lost their lives in the unexpecteded calamity that occured while they<\/p>\n<p>were still sleeping in their beds.<\/p>\n<p>Over 25,000 people lost their homes, Approximately 100,000 are without adequate food, water, or clothing. Over 5,000 businesses have lost everything; their stock, their<\/p>\n<p>stores, their furniture and will be without any income. The infrastructure (roads,electricity, water supply) is in shambles. Crops are completely damaged. Food is hard to<\/p>\n<p>come by and when it is available it is too expensive for most people to afford.<\/p>\n<p>Hare Krishna Food for Life, the world&#8217;s largest Vegetarian relief organization has mobilized their resources to feed, and clothe tens of thousands of people. So far over<\/p>\n<p>15,000 people are being fed by the volunteers of this organization. Many people are stepping forward to provide foodstuffs for Food for Life to cook hot meals for the<\/p>\n<p>homeless, and clothes to replace the clothes that were destroyed by the floods.<\/p>\n<p>Food for Life can help more people, but their need more resources in the form of foodstuffs, clothes, bedding, medical supplie school supplies, or money.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in helping the situation by volunteering or providing any of these necessities contact: Dr. Rajesh Maharaj (Food for Life Fiji Coordinator) at:<\/p>\n<p>Maharajr@connect.com.fj Telephone +679 (country code) 9926349.
