Iosefo Cagi was killed while driving a supply truck in Iraq on April 18, 2006, where he earned around US$2,500 a month, compared to just FJ$600 (US$350) when he was in the Fijian army. Many Fijians are seeking work overseas in an effort to support their families as the cost of living in the South Pacific nation of just 900,000 people continues to increase at a rapid rate.
