New Zealand: Two dead and several missing after deadly landslides
BBC News2 days
This tragedy has united New Zealand in grief and resilience. Emergency responders, local communities and everyday citizens have stepped up heroically to save lives and support one another. The government's focus must remain on rescue efforts and recovery for devastated families.
These floods represent a climate-charged disaster that demands immediate political action, not empty sympathy. Government policies continue increasing emissions while failing communities facing escalating climate disasters. Prioritizing climate action and emergency preparedness isn't political — it's survival.
