Thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate a remote region in Papua New Guinea, where a massive landslide is feared to have buried more than 2000 people. Officials state that the area remains unstable, with huge rocks and debris still falling. The initial landslide occurred four days ago, and the conditions continue to hinder recovery efforts as crews face challenges in reaching the affected area.
The evacuation orders have impacted over 7,000 individuals due to the ongoing movement of the landslide. Government sources confirm that the situation remains precarious, with eyewitnesses observing further land slippage. The risk to life persists, prompting the urgent relocation of thousands of residents.
