The state of emergency is in effect in the Auckland region due to the category 2 tropical cyclone Gabrielle which has been affecting New Zealand since Sunday February 12 with recorded gusts of winds up to 140km/h and heavy rains. Gabrielle should start to weaken and head slowly south between this Monday and Tuesday February 14th.

The Air New Zealand plane which was to drop off some members of the Haitian delegation, including two players, Danielle Étienne and Ruthny Mathurin, was forced to land at "Cook Island" and will resume its flight as soon as the weather permits.

According to the flight routes, the players who play in Europe and who will play matches with their respective clubs this weekend, as well as the members of the technical staff, were to leave Paris (France) on Saturday February 11 and arrive at their destination in the Sunday night to Monday 1:30 a.m. (New Zealand time). The players coming from North America were expected to reach the delegation hotel on Sunday around 7:30 a.m. Most of the flights scheduled for Monday have already been canceled.

If some members are already there in Auckland like Milan Pierre Jérôme, Lara Sophia Larco, several grenadières and staff members have had their flights canceled...
