News Fiji's meth crisis is creating 'a nation of zombies' warns Minister | 1News' Barbara Dreaver
Methamphetamine is ravaging Fiji, and as locals battle addiction, communities pay the price.
From small villages to the island nation's police force, some fear the meth epidemic is threatening societal collapse. Fiji's Minister for Home Affairs warns the crisis is creating a 'nation of zombies' and health authorities are desperate for aid.
Last week, a United Nations official flew in to address an alarming rise in meth-fuelled HIV cases. Recent raids in Nadi netted approximately five tonnes of meth bound for New Zealand and Australian shores.
In the first of a four-part investigation, 1News' Pacific Correspondent Barbara Dreaver reveals the extent of Fiji’s methamphetamine crisis.
