More than 300 people and over 1,100 houses were buried by a massive landslide that levelled a remote village in northern Papua New Guinea, local media reported on Saturday.

Hundreds are feared dead in the landslide that hit Kaokalam village in Enga Province, about 600 km (370 miles) northwest of capital Port Moresby, around 3 a.m. on Friday (1900 GMT on Thursday).

The landslide in the Pacific nation north of Australia buried more than 300 people and 1,182 houses, the Papua New Guinea Post Courier said, citing comments from a member of the country's parliament, Aimos Akem. Akem did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment via social media.

More than six villages had been impacted by the landslide in the province's Mulitaka region, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said on Saturday.

Australia’s High Commission in Port Moresby is in close contact with PNG authorities for further assessments on the extent of the damage and casualties," a DFAT spokesperson said in a statement.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp reported on Saturday that four bodies had been retrieved from the area after emergency teams reached the sparsely populated area, where the death toll is expected to rise.

The landslide has blocked highway access, making helicopters the only way to reach the area, the broadcaster reported.
Social media footage posted by villager Ninga Role showed people clambering over rocks, uprooted trees and mounds of dirt searching for survivors. Women could be heard weeping in the background.
Prime Minister James Marape has said disaster officials, the Defence Force and the Department of Works and Highways were assisting with relief and recovery efforts.

Very sad, this is where western help is needed but they prefer sending bombs worth billions of dollars to wipe out a population and ignore disasters around the world

Tragic!

Very unfortunate.The Western hypocrites should be channeling their assistance to geologically climatically troubled regions like PNG,but no,the Pigs prefer fomenting chaos and keeping conflicts alive by sending weapons in constant flow, just like in the ongoing Israel Hamas war.
Western White Pigs are a curse to the world.
BTW,New Guinea lies on the Notorious Pacific Ring of Fire which rings the Pacific Ocean.
This tectonic belt is ravaged by earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons volcanic activity and tsunamis.

Gud leader but bad nature we here in Nigeria Gud nature but bad leaders

This is disheartening.
May God help the country at this trying time

Nigeria is blessed with stable geographical setting.

We are so blessed in Nigeria that we don't have this type of natural disasters.

But we have leadership disasters, which have destroyed the economy and wellbeing of most Nigerians.

Sad, I pray may we never experienced natural disasters in Nigeria. Because our APC government will use that opportunity to cash out just like sadiya was cashing out during COVID 19 in the name of school feeding program.

Omo Dammmmm

if your younger sister get belle, you go still blame west but you will be grinning from ear to ear when Russia and China are parading weapons to attack America.

Sad.
Things like this make me thank God for my country Nigeria.

May God save Abuja and all those estates those property companies are building on those sand textured hills.
I hope they did a very deep soil analysis for texture and integrity.
Especially that water park at Asokoro. I pray nothing happens.
