据新西兰新闻秘书长6月21日消息，新西兰外交部长纳纳亚·马胡塔今天宣布，新西兰正在向斐济提供额外支持，以减轻目前COVID-19疫情对脆弱家庭的影响。
纳纳亚·马胡塔说：”认识到斐济日益严峻的局势，新西兰将提供一揽子额外援助，以支持斐济政府和受当前疫情影响最大的斐济人”。
援助包括政府提供最多500万纽币，用于提供COVID-19业务，以及向直接与家庭合作，以减轻贫困风险的当地民间社会组织提供500万纽币，包括通过提供口粮。
纳纳亚·马胡塔说：”此外，新西兰正在将两名医疗专家与我们的澳大利亚合作伙伴一起纳入医疗援助小组（MAT），以支持斐济的COVID-19应对工作”。
新西兰麻醉师今天将随六人澳大利亚队从澳大利亚乘坐斐济航空公司的航班前往斐济，在斐济的MIQ停留七天，然后开始为期28天的任务。新西兰国防军不久将部署一名公共卫生/传染病专家。该小组将与斐济卫生部合作，立即为卫生系统管理和感染预防控制提供支持。它们还将协助评估斐济应对当前疫情的优先卫生需要。
“这一援助将支持斐济应对COVID-19带来的中期挑战。新西兰继续与斐济站在一起，应对此次疫情，我们的想法是与所有受影响的”。纳尼亚马胡塔说。
今天的声明进一步推动了新西兰迄今为止的一揽子援助计划，其中包括预算支持、运营资金、用品和设备。
New Zealand boosts support to Fiji for COVID-19 impact
New Zealand is providing additional support to Fiji to mitigate the effects of the current COVID-19 outbreak on vulnerable households, Foreign Minister Hon Nanaia Mahuta announced today.
“Recognising the increasingly challenging situation in Fiji, Aotearoa will provide an additional package of assistance to support the Government of Fiji and Fijians most affected by the current outbreak,” Nanaia Mahuta said.
“The assistance includes up to $5 million for the Government to deliver COVID-19 operations, and $5 million to local civil society organisations working directly with households to mitigate poverty risks, including through the provision of food rations.
“In addition, New Zealand is embedding two medical specialists into a Medical Assistance Team (MAT) alongside our Australian partners to support Fiji in its COVID-19 response,” Nanaia Mahuta said.
A New Zealand anaesthetist will today travel with the six-person Australian team to Fiji on a Fiji Airways flight from Australia and spend seven days in MIQ in Fiji before beginning their 28 day assignment. A New Zealand Defence Force public health/infectious disease specialist will be deployed in the near future.
The team will work with the Fijian Ministry of Health to provide immediate support for health system management and infection prevention control. They will also assist with assessments of Fiji’s priority health needs responding to the current outbreak.
“This assistance will support Fiji to navigate the medium-term challenges posed by COVID-19. New Zealand continues to stand alongside Fiji as it responds to this outbreak and our thoughts are with all affected,” Nania Mahuta said.
The announcement today furthers New Zealand’s package of assistance to date, which includes budget support, operational funding, supplies and equipment.
