Recovery efforts continue in hard-hit areas of New Zealand on Friday after Cylcone Gabrielle caused chaos leaving at least seven people dead, displacing 10,000 people in the country's most damaging storm in decades.
"We do need to brace ourselves for the fact that there are likely be more fatalities from this across the country. And the true extent of that, we won't know for awhile," New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said.
The cyclone, which hit New Zealand on the uppermost region of the North Island on Sunday before making its way down the country's east coast, cut off entire towns, washed away farms, bridges and livestock and inundated homes, stranding people on rooftops. On Thursday, more than 3000 people were registered with the police as not yet having had contact with friends or family since the cyclone hit. Police said they believe the majority of those on the list do not have communication networks available.
