TUVALUAN STUDENTS IN FIRE INCIDENT
Two Tuvaluan students studying at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji were unfortunate to have their quarters caught in fire in a fire accident last Sunday night.
Tuvalu news gathered that the fire burned down the entire five flats in which the students lived.
Tuvalu Embassy in Suva only learned of the incident on Monday morning and they found out that the students and their families then stayed with their neighbours in the Samabula area until the morning.
Tuvalu news found out that the Embassy was still trying to establish details of the accident from the two students and also see what their needs are in regards to their well being and their studies. Tuvalu High Commissioner to Fiji Seve Paeniu in response to the Secretary to Government’s queries had said that the students would now need a more permanent accommodation and clothes.
Paeniu had also said that he is now in the process of ascertaining all information on the incident and report to the government at the earliest.
