Houses have been destroyed and roads are blocked by fallen trees says a resident in Vanuatu.

Temae Baeri, who lives on south Pentecost says the damage is more serious than the destruction left by tropical cyclone Harold in 2020.

He says a landslide on a new tar-sealed road was making it hard to travel between north, central and south Pentecost.

The cyclone has been downgraded to a tropical low in the latest weather information from Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department.

RNZ Pacific correspondent Hilaire Bule says due to the destruction of the telecommunications network it was hard for the NDMO to collect damage reports on affected islands.

Government chief information officer Gerard Metsan says the government's telecommunication networks in the northrn part of Vanuatu were down.
