The aid agency’s country co-ordinator Stella Rumbam said the organisation had assessed and conducted an initial aid distribution to Bosavi in Southern Highlands province.
Rumbam said blankets, water containers and purifying tabs had been given to 125 households by world Vision.
She said the distribution would continue in the region along with an education programme.
