The worst affected area is the capital city of Honiara, after the Mataniko River burst its banks on 3 April 2014. The damage is widespread across the entire Guadalcanal province and considerable damage has also been reported in Malaita and Isabel provinces. Major infrastructure, including the sewerage system, water supplies, roads, and bridges, has been badly damaged or destroyed. | ||||
