Papua New Guinea Landslide Buries 2,000, Rescue Efforts Hampered
TL;DR Summary
A massive landslide in Papua New Guinea's Enga Province has buried nearly 2,000 people and destroyed over 150 homes. Satellite images reveal the extensive damage, with the landslide covering an area as large as four football fields. Rescue efforts are hampered by the remote location and ongoing smaller landslides, forcing villagers to dig through debris with limited tools. The government has ordered the evacuation of nearly 7,000 people, and the chances of finding survivors are slim.
