Memorial Service Is Held For Victims Of Cyclone Gabrielle

NAPIER, NEW ZEALAND - FEBRUARY 14: The HMNZS Manawanui sits offshore before the memorial service on February 14, 2024 in Napier, New Zealand. Cyclone Gabrielle, which hit Hawke's Bay between Feb. 12 and 16 in 2023, had a devastating impact causing extensive and widespread flooding due to rapidly rising rivers, resulting in a loss of life and significant damage to infrastructure and the environment. The region experienced a period of extreme devastation, with decimated residential and commercial areas, leaving over 70,000 residents without essential services and connectivity, and resulting in long-term effects that are still being felt across the community.
