Relief supplies, Fiji, 1972

Description:

A group of Fijians affected by Hurricane Bebe picking up emergency food supplies of tins of cabin biscuits. Large areas of the Fiji Islands have been devastated by the hurricane and more than 50,000 residents are facing weeks or even months of hunger. Among other groups, the Otahuhu Rotary Club and the Five Star Newspapers Group (which includes the Otahuhu-based South Auckland Courier) are organizing relief supplies. This photograph was published with the article 'Your help is still desperately needed', South Auckland Courier Central Edition, 7 November 1972, p. 1 (see also the earlier article, 'Many rush to help Fijians', South Auckland Courier Central Edition, 2 November 1972, p. 1).
