Officials say the number of people not accounted after a campground landslide at the base of Mount Maunganui is in the single figures and includes young people. 

Rescuers are working at Beachside Holiday Park, devastated by a slip this morning that swamped tents, cars, caravans, a toilet block, and the hot pools. 

Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell told Matt Heath and Tyler Adams that it’s definitely still an active rescue situation, and those on the ground are flat-out busy.  

He says it's a substantiative slip and there’s extensive damage, but the team is working as quickly and diligently as they can.  

Mitchell says the community has been outstanding in their support for those impacted, and they’re all trying to wrap as much support, comfort, and reassurance around them as possible.
