Cyclone Winston relief

Cyclone Winston: Differences put aside in time of need

New Zealand's Foreign Minister Murray McCully visited Fiji Monday and said New Zealand's aid was starting to make an impact.

He said it will be a long recovery process for Fiji and New Zealand was doing what it could to help.

New Zealand has boosted its support to Fiji after Cyclone Winston by another US$1 million, taking its aid package to just over US$3 million.

McCully said most of the extra $US1 million in aid will help repair the badly damaged electricity grid.

The remaining third would go towards additional relief supplies and technical support.
