Drought worries are spreading around the South Pacific as small island nations struggle with a shortage of drinking water.
New Zealand stepped in to help on Monday after Tuvalu declared a state of emergency and now Tokelau has declared one too. Parts of Samoa are also starting to ration water.
New Zealand Red Cross supports those affected by Tuvalu drought
2011/10/10
With limited or no rainfall over the last six months, water rationing has reached critical levels in Tuvalu and Tokalau, with the two countries now declaring states of emergencies.
In coordination with local authorities Tuvalu Red Cross requested assistance through the International Federation of Red Cross Red Crescent. As a result of this request New Zealand Red Cross mobilised 2,000 collapsible water containers, hand sanitizer, tarpaulins to be used to capture rain, two emergency desalination units and sent two New Zealand Red Cross aid workers trained in desalination and emergency assessments. Due the remote location of Tuvalu and the limited availability of commercial flights. The New Zealand Government provided an RNZAF C130 Hercules to transport Red Cross supplies, staff and other officials and equipment to Tuvalu to assist.
