The number of people still missing after Cyclone Gabrielle that struck New Zealand two weeks ago has dropped to eight, authorities said on Sunday, amid warnings of more wild weather for the nation's North Island.
Gabrielle hit the island's northern region on Feb. 12 and then the east coast causing widespread destruction, leaving at least 11 dead and displacing thousands.
The number of people missing topped 6,000 following the storm as communications were disrupted in many areas, but has fallen in the wake of recovery efforts. "The remaining number of people includes those who, for a variety of reasons, do not engage with authorities," New Zealand police said early Sunday.
"Regardless, getting in touch with those remaining eight remains a priority for police, and our staff are exploring all avenues to try and locate them." Severe weather again hit the North Island on Friday, with heavy rain prompting more evacuations in Hawke's Bay, one of the regions hardest-hit by Gabrielle.
