Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasa has left a devastating trail of destruction in Nasau Village and nearby communities in Koro this morning.

Panapasa Nayabakoro who resides in Nasau Village says most of the houses have been destroyed which includes government quarters as well.

He says some government officials and villagers are currently doing clean-up and what they saw this morning reminds them of the devastation that was caused by TC Winston in 2016.

He adds 32 people are currently sheltering at the Nasau Health Centre and the rest are in the schools.

Nayabakoro says they are still experiencing strong winds and rain and the safety of the people is paramount at this stage.
