Media in the Pacific nation north of Australia said the landslide on May 24 buried more than 300 people.
Hundreds are feared dead in the landslide that levelled a village on May 24 in the Pacific nation north of Australia.
The once-bustling hillside village in Enga province was almost completely obliterated when the disaster struck in the early hours on May 24, burying scores of homes and the people sleeping inside. While Mr Aktoprak said the violence was “not related to the landslide”, Papua New Guinea’s military was providing a “security escort” to ensure the safe passage of aid convoys.
At some points, the landslide – a mix of car-sized boulders, uprooted trees and churned-up earth – was thought to be 8m deep. Damage after a landslide in Maip Mulitaka, Enga province, Papua New Guinea, on May 24. PHOTO: REUTERS
