Papua New Guinea informed the UN on Monday that more than 2,000 people were buried in a massive landslide that swept over a remote village, according to a copy of the letter obtained by the media.

"The landslide buried more than 2,000 people alive and caused major destruction," the country's national disaster centre told the UN office in the capital Port Moresby.

A once-bustling remote hillside village in Enga province was almost wiped out when a chunk of Mount Mungalo collapsed in the early hours of Friday morning, burying scores of homes and the people sleeping inside them.

The landslide caused "major destruction to buildings, food gardens and caused major impact on the economic lifeline of the country", the disaster office said.

The main highway to Porgera Mine was "completely blocked", it said in the letter, which was received by UN officials on Monday morning.

"The situation remains unstable as the landslip continue to shift slowly, posing ongoing danger to both the rescue teams and survivors alike."

Emergency crews, led by Papua New Guinea's (PNG) defence personnel, were on the ground, but the first excavator only reached the site late on Sunday, according to a UN official.

Social media footage posted by villagers and local media teams showed people scaling rocks, digging with shovels, sticks and their bare hands to find survivors. Women could be heard weeping in the background.

Six bodies have been retrieved so far. The U.N. said the number of possible deaths could change as rescue efforts were expected to continue for days.

PNG media on Monday reported that residents had rescued a couple trapped under rubble after hearing their cries for help.

Johnson and Jacklyn Yandam told local NBC News that they were very grateful and described their rescue as a miracle.

We thank God for saving our lives at that moment. We were certain that we were going to die but the big rocks didn't crush us," Jacklyn said. "It's really hard to explain as we got trapped for nearly eight hours, then got rescued. We believe we were saved for a purpose."

About 1,250 people have been displaced by the landslide, which occurred in PNG's Enga province early Friday. More than 150 houses were buried and about 250 houses abandoned.

"The houses are buried under around eight metres (26.3 ft) of dirt. So there is quite a lot of debris to get through," said CARE's McMahon

End time Signs. Mercy Lord

Nigerian pastors would be like the land slide happened because those people weren't paying their tithes. If they don't start paying it, more landslides would keep on happening.

This is really sad

This is too much. May God have mercy on this country

Omor

This is awful. 2000 be soundimg like 20 these days. The way they keep calling these numbers make them almost unbelievable sometimes.

15,000 plus children are dead in Gaza within just months. Only children o. 15,000. A sight of 50 children dying is unbearable, talk not of 15,000.

Lord have mercy on the departed souls.

Too bad

hmm

How do we explain this event?
An act of God or man?

This is nothing but man inhumanity to man

Very bad landslide

May their soul rest in peace.

Act of nature.

They are coming to tell you it's a sign of end time as if this is the first time it happening.

"Natural" disaster is natural and it will continue like this unless something is done.

Come to think of number of the people buried alive that's massive may whatever they believed receive their soul.

If you are still alive, be thankful to whatever you serve

Even if you don't believe many things about Nigerian pastors.
Things like this should at least give you a feeling that somehow, even in spite of all, God still cares about Nigeria

Hmmm

God!!!! May the Almighty God let the departed soul rest on

End Is near. Father use me to win souls for you this period .

We ought to be a lucky nation if not for the kind of wicked leaders we consistently put in power. Good arable land for farming, huge mineral deposit every where, good weather and almost zero natural disaster.
