Vanuatu NDMO liaises with Health Dept for food ration distribution

The Health Department has strictly recommended this process following an investigation into reports of contaminated OKI tinned fish that were purchased as part of food rations from a shop in Port Vila.

The tinned fish was sent to families in Tanna, who were affected by ash-fall from the Yasur volcano.

Another recommendation is for authorized officers from the Port Vila Municipal Council (PVMC) and Ministry of Health (MoH) to confiscate and destroy all OKI tinned fish from that particular shops and others that have them on shelves.
