A Kiwi medical aid ship stranded in Fiji is dealing with Tropical Cyclone Mal after it made landfall just hours ago. The ship named Koha has two dental clinics on board and is owned by charity organisation Youth with a Mission also know as Y-WAM. The crew of volunteers was helping isolated communities in Fiji when an issue with its tailshaft was discovered. YWAM is appealing for donations so the Koha can be dry docked and repaired. Joining Nathan Rarere is Y-WAM Ships Managing Director Marty Emmett.
