UNICEF in Solomon Islands says the government is making progress towards closing evacuation centres to the remaining flood victims by the end of June.
Kang Yun Jong says previous deadlines for closure of the temporary accommodation for people displaced in April's floods have passed but he believes the government has now found a workable plan.

He says the National Disaster Management Office and the Ministry of Lands have allocated land in Malaita Province for resettlement by families affected by the floods.
I think there are about 280 households in the current remaining four evacuation centres. And NDMO wants all the people to return to the areas of their origin by the end of this month and close the evacuation centres.
Kang Yun Jong says once the families settle in Malaita they will be assisted with building materials for shelters and gardening kits.
