NEW ZEALAND’s death toll from heavy rain rose to four on Sunday as flash floods and landslides on the north island continued for a third day.
Battered since Friday, Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, remained under a state of emergency. The nation’s weather forecaster, MetService, warned of more severe weather on Sunday and Monday for the north island. Intense rainfall could also cause surface and flash flooding, it said.
The emergency covers large swaths of the north island, with Waitomo District about 220 km from Auckland, declaring a state of emergency late on Saturday. “The most horrific part of it is that we’ve lost lives,” Deputy Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni said in Auckland, a city of 1.6 million. Police said on Sunday they were assisting with traffic management and road closures in Waitomo District after heavy rainfall “caused numerous slips, flooding and damage to roads”.
