Residents clean up silt following flood waters in Napier, New Zealand, February 15, 2023. /CFP
Cyclone Gabrielle, which brought extensive flooding and landslides in New Zealand, has claimed at least four lives, said New Zealand police on Wednesday.
"Police have received over 1,400 reports of people uncontactable across the North Island in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle," said the police.
Gabrielle weakened and moved away from New Zealand on Wednesday as the country started to assess the damage caused by significant flooding, landslides and high winds.
Gabrielle, which reached New Zealand on Sunday before making its way down the east coast of the North Island, cut off entire towns, washed away farms, bridges and livestock, and inundated homes, stranding people on roof tops.
