The Fijian Government is troubled by incorrect social media reports that the residents of Nawaka have not received groceries and essential items.

According to a statement, since the lockdown order, the Ministry of Economy has confirmed that the residents of Nawaka were among the 700 families in lockdown areas in Nadi who received government-funded groceries and essential items.

“After an internal investigation, it has been confirmed that rations were successfully delivered to the community in line with a well-communicated delivery schedule on June 2, June 3, and June 12, 2021.

“In today’s scheduled delivery to Nawaka residents, households with more than six members were provided two groceries and essential items ration packs while those with 12 or more members were provided with three packs.”
