Situation Overview
On 17 December, Category 5 super Cyclone Yasa barrelled into Fiji causing catastrophic damage and destruction. Most damage was caused on Fiji’s second-largest island of Vanua Levu.
Multiple assessment teams continue to collect data in the cyclone-affected areas of Vanua Levu to establish the extent of the damage and humanitarian needs. Over 4,000 homes were completely destroyed or damaged, with some remote islands still to be assessed. Essential services continue to be restored and humanitarian assistance is being received in cyclone-affected communities.
More than 900 people remain in evacuation centres, all in the Northern Division of Fiji. Fijian authorities are focusing on ensuring all those remaining in evacuation centres are able to return home.

While most families across the country will tuck into a Christmas feast, Fijians affected by super storm Yasa will be foraging in what’s left of their farms in search of food.
For the people of Nacamaki on Koro Island, Navakawau on Taveuni and those in Wailevu, Cakaudrove, this Christmas would be one of the most difficult because of the devastation caused by the Category 5 cyclone.
Vuna district representative Laisiasa Tuimouta said Christmas this year would be difficult for about 200 people in Navakawau because their farms and breadfruit crops were severely damaged.
