  • Peoples lives piled on the side of the road. The scale and impact of floods in the Hawkes Bay is heartbreaking. Our Hastings-based reporter Kirsty Babington captures the story of whānau fighting to reclaim their homes and marae - their tūrangawaewae.

    Wish i was a maori. They love each other. Help each other. Put their elders first. A beautiful tribute to their strength. Kia kaha kiwis.

    Excellent report. ! Good to see a well edited and human news item. The comments and feelings of the Maori people are so eloquent , so real. Your community will survive with good folk like these. Kia ora from Europe.

    Waiohiki marae is across the river from me. It was crazy not being able to find out of the people were okay so nearby, but it being on high ground helped. Hearing from there on the radio was a relief.

    Can not begin to really understand how frightening this would of been. Absolute admiration for the quick thinking and bravery of those that jumped into help their famz and community. I hope your communities are getting plenty of support.

    New Māori word _du jour_ : urupā n. cemetery, burial ground, tomb, graveyard.
    My heart, my thoughts and my strength go out to the people and the communities that are affected by these inundations in the Hawkes Bay and all over the motu this summer. 💙🙏🏽💪🏽

    Our people are most definitely first responders, natural born leaders we are. Arohanui ki a koutou. I watch many videos is absolute awe and sadness. Wishing I could hug each and every person, to see the fear they were in, breaks my heart.

    Questions need to be asked why people never got warnings like sirens or messages, was there a power outage why they never got warned? where was the civil defence and council

    Hopefully they can raise the marae up high. Things can be cleaned. But raise everything up. It will come right. :) together
