More than 670 people are believed to have died after a massive landslide obliterated a village in Papua New Guinea, a UN official told AFP on Sunday.“There are an estimated 150-plus houses now buried” said UN migration agency official Serhan Aktoprak, adding that “670-plus people are assumed dead”.“The situation is terrible with the land still sliding.
The water is running and this is creating a massive risk for eveyrone involved,” added Aktoprak, who is based in Port Moresby.More than 1,000 people had been displaced from the once-bustling village, Aktoprak said, with food gardens and water supplies almost completely wiped out.“People are using digging sticks, spades, large agricultural forks to remove the bodies buried under the soil.”Source: AFP--Agencies
