The death toll from Cyclone Gabrielle rose to nine on Saturday as clean-up continued on New Zealand's battered North Island and authorities worked to find missing people.

The cyclone hit the country last Sunday on the uppermost region of the North Island before tracking down the east coast, causing widespread devastation.
