More than 300 people have been killed in a landslide in a remote region in northern Papua New Guinea, a local politician has said.
Amos Akem, an MP for Enga province, said the landslide struck Yambali village, about two hours’ drive from the provincial capital, Wabag, in the early hours of Friday. The road to Yambali from the capital is blocked, hampering relief efforts.
