Landslide in Papua New Guinea

A devastating landslide happened in Papua New Guinea's mountainous Enga region on May 24. The disaster hit the village of Kaokalam in Enga Province, about 600 kilometers (372 miles) northwest of the capital, Port Moresby, at about 3 a.m. local time.

More than 100 people are feared dead and as many as 2,000 people are feared to have been buried after the landslide flattened homes and buried people alive while they were sleeping.

Rescue teams have been slow to reach the site because of the treacherous terrain and tribal unrest forcing the military to escort convoys of relief teams. The remoteness of the affected village, home to nearly 4,000, is also a factor that is hindering search and rescue efforts.
