Trauma is still rife and life remains hard for many of the survivors of Cyclone Winston which hit Fiji a year ago. Winston was the worst storm in Fiji’s recorded history, killing 44 people and leaving thousands in makeshift shacks and tents. The director of the Fiji charity, Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises & Development (FRIEND) Sashi Kiran said floods and non stop rain since the end of last year have meant continued strife for people at Winston’s “Ground Zero” in Ra province on the main island Viti Levu.
