Cyclone Winston

Australia said today it would donate A$10 million ($7.1 million) to fund relief efforts in Fiji, where more than 60,000 people are sheltering in evacuation centres more than a week after the Pacific island nation was hit by its worst cyclone.

Australia is sending a relief ship to Fiji to assist in the recovery effort after Cyclone Winston, the worst ever recorded in the southern hemisphere, tore through the island nation last Saturday, as the sheer scale of the disaster becomes clearer.

Cyclone-devastated Fiji said it was likely to need more foreign aid Thursday as the body count from the most powerful storm in its history climbed to 44.

The death toll from super-cyclone Winston jumped to 36 on Wednesday as concerns grew for remote Fijian villages still waiting for help after the most powerful storm in the Pacific nation's history.

Humanitarian aid began pouring into Fiji today, as the death toll from super-cyclone Winston rose to 29 and officials warned the devastated Pacific nation's recovery could take months.

India on Monday extended USD one million as immediate assistance to Fiji, which was hit by a severe cyclone on Saturday killing at least 20 people.
