Скачать или смотреть New Zealand Army: Convoy in Hastings (Cyclone Gabrielle)

A group of seasonal workers stranded by floodwaters in Hawke’s Bay are just some of the people who have been rescued and taken to a local evacuation centre in the past 24 hours.

The group were rescued near Hastings by personnel from our #NZArmy and New Zealand Police using four Unimog trucks on Tuesday.

“The floodwater was waist high, but the Unimog tyres and massive clearance meant we were able to get into the elevated areas needed to reach the seasonal workers.” ~ New Zealand Army Second Lieutenant Judge Gregory

Overall, the #NZArmy teams had rescued about 200 people, with that number still climbing.
