A son of Iriqila village has stepped forward to assist families affected by the recent tropical cyclone Maila, delivering much-needed food supplies to his home community and surrounding areas in North Vella Vella.
Alex Kivolyn provided relief assistance consisting of 72 bags of 20kg rice, 100 cartons of noodles, and 10 cartons of Solomon Blue Taiyo.
The supplies were handed over yesterday in Gizo to representatives of the Iriqila disaster committee before being transported to the community later in the afternoon.
Iriqila and nearby villages were among the hardest hit areas in Western Province when cyclone Maila struck, leaving a trail of destruction.
Many homes, churches, and key infrastructure were severely damaged or completely destroyed, forcing families to rely on relief support.
Speaking on his contribution, Mr Kivolyn said the assistance was made possible through the generosity of individuals who were deeply moved by the devastation caused by the cyclone.
“This support comes from people who were touched by what has happened to our communities,” he said.
Community leaders have welcomed the assistance, describing it as timely support as affected families continue to recover and rebuild their lives following the disaster.
Relief efforts across the province are ongoing, with both government and private individuals continuing to respond to the urgent needs of communities impacted by cyclone Maila.
