One month later: Getting critical services to pregnant women after Fiji’s Cyclone Winston

Language English RAKIRAKI, Fiji – One week after Cyclone Winston devastated the island nation of Fiji, Elenoa Adi, age 33, awoke at 4 a.m. to unexpected birth pangs. It was late February, and the baby wasn’t due until April. Her husband had left their home in Rakiraki Town to travel to Baleisere Village, where they both grew up, because the couple had heard that only two or three homes in the village were left standing in Winston’s wake, and they were concerned about their parents’ well-being.
