RNZI: Nearly 800 people have been evacuated as a result of flooding hitting the western part of Fiji’s Viti Levu.
Two people are confirmed to have died, and officials are warning people to move to high ground before high tide this evening.
The government spokesperson, Sharon Smith-Johns, says flood waters aren’t easing.
“We have evacuation centres in Ba, Nadi, Tavua, in those areas. In total we have 393 adults and 322 children from 41 families currently in accommodation in evacuation centres. With the rain coming down, we can’t predict at the moment, when the waters are going to subside, and it’s just a wait and see game.”
Sharon Smith-Johns says traffic is moving around Nadi, but a number of roads in low-lying areas have been closed.
