Fiji’s government declared a 30-day state of national disaster after the Pacific island nation, with a population of 934,000, was devastated by Tropical Cyclone Yasa on Thursday. Two people have been confirmed dead, a three-month-old baby and a man in his 40s. Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama yesterday told the media, “We sadly expect fatalities to rise.”
