Severe flooding in Fiji

I recently read an article a natural disaster in Fiji. Recently there has been severe flooding and it has killed 10 people and left thousands of others in shelters because everything that they owned, including their homes were destroyed. Also, this flooding has caused a major shortage of food, because their agricultural crops near the river which has been irrigated. Most of the houses that were impacted by the flood were covered in at least five or six feet of water. This will also negatively impact the tourist industry in Fiji, and the people there are very worried about their markets, and agricultural business. People living in Fiji are expecting a rough next year or two.
