Emergency responders are moving survivors of a massive landslide feared to have buried scores of people to safer ground as tons of unstable earth and tribal warfare, which is rife in the Papua New Guinea Highlands, threaten the rescue effort.
In this photo provided by the International Organization for Migration, an injured person is carried on a stretcher to seek medical assistance after a landslide in Yambali village, Papua New Guinea, Friday, May 24, 2024. More than 100 people are believed to have been killed in the landslide that buried a village and an emergency response is underway, officials in the South Pacific island nation said.
“People are coming to terms with this so there is a serious level of grieving and mourning,” he added. Aktoprak said he did not expect tribal combatants would target the convoys but noted that opportunistic criminals might take advantage of the mayhem to do so. “The authorities do anticipate that the number of casualties will rise,” McMahon told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
