1,768 people are currently staying in 85 evacuation centres around the country.

We have successfully finished evacuating residents from the Nasoata Squatter Settlement on the coast.

Although we're being tested by the current circumstances, we can see the resilient spirit of brave Fijians - both our forces and the evacuees.#Fiji #FijianGovernment #TCHarold pic.twitter.com/7eHdRQRcg9
