"Devastating Landslide in Papua New Guinea Buries Thousands, Hope Fades"
TL;DR Summary
Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape attributed multiple disasters, including a deadly landslide in Enga province that may have killed over 2,000 people, to extraordinary weather patterns and climate change. The landslide has caused significant damage, prompting international aid and rescue efforts, though challenging terrain and tribal unrest have slowed progress. The U.N. has warned of potential disease outbreaks due to decaying bodies and water contamination.
