RNZ reports large parts of the central and northern divisions have been underwater after a tropical depression moved past the country over the weekend, damaging crops and infrastructure.
More than 3,000 people sought shelter in evacuation centres, and a landslide destroyed a school, a health centre and two houses on Qamea island, in the country's north.
Akapusi Tuifagalele said that today, river levels are slowly starting to recede, a hospital in Nausori that was relocated has moved back, and evacuation centres are starting to close.
