Emergency responders in Papua New Guinea are facing a race against time as they search for safer ground to relocate thousands of survivors at risk from a potential second landslide in the country's highlands. The disaster struck the village of Yambali in the nation's mountainous interior, leaving hundreds buried under a mass of boulders, earth, and splintered trees.
Up to 8,000 people may need to be evacuated as the unstable ground continues to pose a threat. However, the current evacuation center near Yambali has limited capacity, accommodating only about 50 families. Authorities are now working to identify additional locations to accommodate the anticipated number of evacuees.
