Kia Island is one of the worst affected areas after Cyclone Yasa.
The Australian TC Yasa relief supplies arrived on Kia Island yesterday.
Kia Island Nurse Losana Yabaki says after the cyclone, they were in urgent need of food and water but they are so fortunate that the very next day they received assistance from some of their relatives overseas, Red Cross and Vodafone. The NDMO also dropped off supplies over the weekend.
