Authorities in New Zealand’s Auckland focus on clean-up after deadly flash floods
Authorities in New Zealand’s biggest city, Auckland, began mopping up on Saturday after torrential rains brought flash flooding and evacuations, with at least two people confirmed dead and two missing in the widespread inundation.
“The level of devastation in some areas is considerable,” Hipkins told reporters, describing the event as “unprecedented” in recent memory. While heavy rain had eased, another period of downpours was possible on Sunday, the national weather forecaster said. Two men were found dead, New Zealand Police said. A search was under way for a man believed swept away, while another person was unaccounted for after a landslide hit a house in an inner Auckland suburb, police said.
Some local flights resumed at Auckland Airport, which had closed domestic and international operations on Friday.
