Tropical Cyclone Winston is a massive category 5 storm that is about to make a direct hit to Fiji. This will be one of the largest storms in decades to make landfall on Fiji. It has already hit Tonga twice and then it strengthened and is approaching Fiji. We will be sharing updates from the storm.

Our thoughts are with the 350 Pacific team and everyone in Fiji, Tonga and other islands.

_Organisations like the Red Cross, Unicef and Oxfam are already on the ground completing disaster assessments and are the best equipped and experienced to lead the relief efforts._
