HALF of Fiji's population is without power and water and tourists remain stranded after a category two cyclone hit the country, killing at least six people.

About 450,000 people are without basic services after Cyclone Gene hit on Fiji's second largest island Vanua Levu and the tourist hub of Nadi on the largest island Viti Levu yesterday, causing flooding.

It struck the Mamanuca and Yasawa Island groups, popular with tourists, today.




I am heading for the Mamanuca Islands in March, sounds like they have had a rough few days.

Some of the villages on the islands are very makeshift, so I am hoping they are all ok.
