More than 2.2 million litres of water have been distributed to communities and essential facilities across Fiji as emergency water carting operations continue amid dry conditions linked to El Niño.

The Fiji National Disaster Risk Management Office (NDRMO) confirmed that, as of 10 November 2026, water deliveries had reached 69 sites across the country’s four divisions.

The Western Division received the largest share, with 1,350,050 litres delivered to 48 sites. In the Northern Division, 747,961 litres were supplied to 16 sites, while the Eastern Division received 90,300 litres across four sites. A further 100,000 litres was delivered to one site in the Central Division.

The water assistance is supporting villages, schools, nursing stations, health centres, police posts and weather stations, helping maintain access to essential water supplies during the prolonged dry conditions.

The NDRMO is coordinating the operations alongside the offices of the Divisional Commissioners, relevant government agencies and partners, including the Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services and Transport, and the Water Authority of Fiji.

The Fiji Government continues to monitor the situation and organise assistance for communities facing water shortages.
