00:00These Maoris residents are carrying an injured woman.
00:07Two days after the cyclone passed over it, the slum of Kaweni counts its dead.
00:13How many are still trapped under the ruins? Under these piles of metal,
00:17which, blown by the winds, already claimed multiple lives.
00:21Saturday, this man saw his cousin die in front of him.
00:26His stomach was open. A piece of sheet metal pierced him.
00:30I was powerless. I tried to stop the blood. I couldn't call the emergency services
00:35because there was no signal.
00:39Services are still difficult to get a hold of.
00:42This man just fell while repairing his house. He is injured.
00:48Help is still slow to come.
00:55His relatives decide to transport him to the hospital themselves.
01:15At the main hospital, the injured arrive in waves.
01:18In Mamutsu, other residents don't have physical complications,
01:21but the violence of the cyclone has deeply shaken them.
01:25This woman has lived in her house for 27 years. She sheltered here when the cyclone came.
01:32It was very, very hard because, in fact, we were in the kitchen
01:37and we saw that this lifted up when there were big gusts.
01:43I am traumatized for life.
01:46It will take time to measure the real magnitude of the disaster caused by Cyclone Chido.
