Authorities are on high alert in Papua New Guinea following a devastating landslide that struck the village of Yambali in the remote highlands of the South Pacific nation. The disaster, which occurred last Friday, involved a massive amount of boulders, earth, and trees that swept over the village after a limestone mountainside collapsed.
The situation has been exacerbated by recent rain, which has made the blanket of debris more unstable. Water streams and bodies are trapped beneath the tons of rubble, raising concerns of a second landslide and a potential disease outbreak.
