Around 1,900 visitors have been stranded in Fiji as airlines cancelled flights while the Pacific island nation braced itself for its biggest cyclone in 20 years.

Tourist resorts on many of Fiji's palm-fringed islands have been evacuated and authorities have set up more than 60 evacuation centres, warning people to take shelter ahead of Tropical Cyclone Evan.

The preparations which also involve power supplies being cut to some areas as a precaution against falling power lines came after the same storm hit nearby Samoa last week destroying houses and killing four people around the capital, Apia.
