Fiji has declared a state of disaster after severe flooding and landslides that have killed at least six people.

Flooding has caused road closures, power cuts and left people cut off from their homes or destinations.

Ra, Tavua/Nadarivatu, Ba, Lautoka, Nadi and Nadroga/Navosa districts are the most severely impacted.

Between 6pm-6am, a curfew (restriction of movement) order is in place for certain towns and cities in these areas.

Heavy rains are forecast to continue for several days.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has advised travellers to monitor the latest situation on the Fiji Meteorological Service website, in local newspapers and on Radio Fiji 2 on 105 FM.
