Australia has pledged an additional 2 million Australian dollars to support reconstruction efforts in Papua New Guinea following a devastating landslide in Enga province. The disaster, which occurred last month, resulted in the estimated loss of 670 lives and displacement of 1,650 survivors.
The Australian government's contribution aims to assist in restoring critical road access, particularly along the Highlands Highway, which serves as a vital transport route in the region. The aid package will also support local health care services and provide learning packs for over 1,000 children affected by the disaster.
