properties damaged, no life lost: Ratu Inoke
The Minister of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation Ratu Inoke Kubuabola this evening received confirmation from the Fiji High Commission in Wellington that members of the Fijian Community living in Christchurch are safe following the earthquake that struck the area on Tuesday, 22nd of February.
The Mission has been working very hard to contact members of the Fijian community in Christchurch including students and those on permanent residency status and is pleased to report that all members of the community contacted so far are confirmed safe and none injured, however, some families reported minor damages to their properties.
“Rescue work is still progressing where people are being pulled out of collapsed buildings and the priority now is rescuing those people trapped in six major sites,” Ratu Inoke said.
“Our prayers are with the people of Christchurch.”
