Many feared dead after massive landslide in Papua New Guinea | DW News
A major landslide struck Papua New Guinea's highlands overnight on Friday, local officials and aid groups said, with many feared dead. The landslide hit the village of Kaokalam in the remote Enga province at around 3 a.m. local time as people slept. Images from the scene showed a large chunk of rock and soil cleaved off from a hill overlooking the village. Provincial Governor Peter Ipatas told the AFP news agency that the event had caused "loss of life and property."
Roughly 100 houses buried
The extent of the disaster was not immediately clear, but Australian broadcaster ABC and other media in the region quoted locals and their relatives who said they feared approximately 100 people could be trapped or crushed beneath the rubble. Villagers could be seen on videos shared online trying to conduct search and rescue operations themselves with what equipment was to hand.
