NEW Zealand will make an initial $NZ300,000 ($A280,177) contribution to help in the immediate aftermath of deadly flooding in Solomon Islands.
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully says heavy rain has caused flash flooding in the capital, Honiara, and reports are coming in of flooding in other parts of the island group.
At least eight people have been killed and thousands have been left homeless, according to media reports.
"The death toll is likely to rise and there appears to be significant damage to homes and infrastructure," Mr McCully said.
New Zealand will provide $NZ250,000 to agencies working on the ground to help provide emergency relief supplies and shelter to those affected by the flooding.
A further $NZ50,000 in emergency funding has been released to the New Zealand High Commission to help address areas of immediate need identified by the Solomon Islands government.
"We are in close contact with the local authorities in Honiara and stand ready to provide further assistance as required," Mr McCully said.
