Solomon Islands - In April 2014 Cyclone “Ita” lashed the Solomon Islands. Heavy rains from the storm caused flash flooding. The Matanikua River broke its banks and devastated communities. Thousands of homes along with Honiara’s two main bridges were washed away. Solomon Islands had not experienced this scale of destruction, 22 people were killed, about 9,000 were left homeless and 50,000 others were directly affected.
