The dedicated line for requesting food rationing has been tested with Vodafone and Digicel and is functioning well and will be activated on Sunday, May 16, at 12pm.
Fiji’s Ministry of Economy confirmed this in a statement released this afternoon.
The ministry has stated that people needing food assistance can request food rations by dialing *161#.
“Applicants must provide their name and other details including street address,” the ministry stated.
“It is imperative that we have information that will allow us to locate you quickly. Requests received before 12pm on May 16, 2021, will not be registered.”
