Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says Tropical Cyclone Yasa has claimed the life of a 3-month-old baby and a 45-year-old farmer near Labasa.

Bainimarama says they sadly expect fatalities to rise.

The Prime Minister says after an eastward shift from its original path, just over 93,000 Fijians found themselves in the direct path of TC Yasa.
