Several people are missing after a landslide came down on several structures at campground at the base of Mauao, Mount Maunganui.

Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell has confirmed a young girl was among the missing, and RNZ understands other children may be unaccounted for.

At a media briefing on Thursday afternoon, Mitchell said it was still a "rescue operation" and a fluid ongoing situation.
