The flood has taken its toll on the people in Ba and most of the residents are helpless and help seems to be slow in reaching them.
Speaking to Fijivillage, Veisaru resident Gyan Singh said the effects have been so bad that people have been forced to sleep on rooftops.
Singh said to add to the hardships, the Moto bridge has been damaged and there has been a landslide in Natalaia in Ba.
ASP Eroni Cokanasiga from the Lautoka Command Centre also confirmed that Wailailai and Koronubu is still underwater and is closed to all traffic.
A resident from Moto, Praveen Dutt, said the Moto bridge has been damaged due to a landslide and thousands of people in Moto and nearby villages are stuck.
He said they have no other alternative route to go to Ba town to buy their groceries which have run out.
At the moment, a total of 118 evacuation centres are operational around the country with about 6,992 people.
